This is a fine ridge walk on a clear day affording marvelous views over Snowdonia. Bit of a slog up the road to Marchlyn Moar reservoir but once thats done the fun starts.

On the road not far from the parking area.
Straight on to Carnedd y Filliast up there.

North Wales, Lliwedd Copper Mine from Bethania.

A visit to the ruined Copper Mine below Lliwedd Bach on Snowdon Today. I spotted this mine while on the Snowdon Horseshoe and promised to pay a visit one day. Today was ideal as the mist was down and all the high tops were covered.

6hrs

Leaving the car park at Bethania and heading up The Watkin Path.
About a mile and a half up the Watkin path a bridge can be seen down to the right which we crossed that lead up to the mine.

Peak District, Bleaklow, Grinah and Barrow Stones from King's Tree, Upper Derwent Valley.

A tour of the stones today at the very top of the Derwent Valley, nice and remote and very quiet. Nice to get out again after the very wet weather during January and February.

6hrs.

King's Tree at the top of the Derwent Valley only accessible by car during the week, weekends it's bus only.
Slippery Stones about a mile from King's Tree.
