Llyn Ogwen

I arrived early in Wales for an attempt at the Welsh 3000's (every peak over 3000ft in Snowdonia) on Friday. After setting up the tents I went for a swim in Llyn Ogwen, something I've wanted to do for ages. Even though it was the hottest of day of the year I was still expecting it to be cold, but it was so nice! After being in a hot car all day it was absolute bliss to swim around, I stayed in for around half an hour and then just took in the view. The Ogwen valley is normally pretty busy, but the hordes hadn't arrived by this point and it was great to swim beneath one of my favourite mountains, Tryfan. I'll remember this one for a long time I think.
