North Wales, Y Foel Goch and The Glyders from Capel Curig.

Been long fancying this long slow climb up onto the Glyders from Capel Curig. It's a nice quiet route until you meet the crowds on Glyder Fach & Fawr.

7 hrs.

Crowds at the Cantilever Stone on Glyder Fach.

First view of Llyn Cwmffynnon where I will make my descent to and then down to Pen-y-Pass.

Another view, you can just make out the car park to the right.

At Glyder Fawr I turned left and made my way down towards Llyn Cwmffynnon.
Red paint dots mark the way, there were some green ones too.

View down the pass towards Llanberis, Crib Goch on the left.

It was just a matter of walking the 4 miles on the A4086 back to Capel Curig (not recommended) as the bus wasn't due for another hour at least. Hindsight says it would have been better to hang around for the bus.
