Snowdonia – Walks With Olly

Nantlle Ridge Circular Walk (Part 1)

Wednesday 15th May 2024

I’d been wanting to walk the Nantlle Ridge for a few years, prior to this trip. My original plan was to to it in March 2023. However, the weather was awful for much of that week and instead, I settled for a lowland walk through nearby Beddgelert Forest.

Ridge walks are often some of my favourites and, if I can tie them in to a circular route, it can make for a great day all round. I wasn’t overly familiar with the area and so, put my trust in a route discovered on OS Maps…

Arenig Fawr Walk (Part 1) (Snowdonia 2024)

Tuesday 14th May 2024

I’ve missed blogging and had never intended to create such an absence between posts on this site. As my previous post was one of the walks from last year’s trip to Snowdonia; I find it fitting that I’ll start now with writings of my first walk up in Snowdonia from 2024.

It was raining. It would be pouring at times and this was no day to be spent up on the mountains Snowdonia. I could either lock myself inside the bunkhouse for the day… Or layer up, get my boots on, pack extra layers and embrace the elements…

Cnicht to Moelwyn Mawr

Monday 27th March 2023

Having climbed to the summit of of Cnicht in time for a mid-morning snack, I was faced with the challenging of heading for Moelwyn Mawr, across the valley, before I would think about lunch.
