Lingering Snow

Warm sunshine and blue skies made for a great day out in the Black Mountains with a bonus of lingering snow providing some amusement survival bag sledging in the valley above the Grwyne Fawr rerservoir :-)



The walk up from the car park at Blaen-y-cwm is long and gradual so is to be savoured. rarely have a I climbed an 800 meter mountain with so little effort and sweat. Unfortunately the routes highest point, Waun Fach is a horrible boggy mess and should quickly be passed by, stopping instead on the summit of Pen y Gadair Fawr which although lower than Waun Fach appears higher as you head towards it.
