outdoors – Walks With Olly

Arenig Fawr Walk (Part 2) (Snowdonia 2024)

Tuesday 14th May 2024

I’d made it down from the top of Moel Llyfnant and found myself standing amongst a grassy ground laden with cottongrass. With a hope of keeping my feet dry, I needed to get back on to higher ground, in my pursuit of Arenig Fawr.

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.
