View from Arenig Fach

The forecast for the high mountains was, frankly, meh.
Waking in Beddgelert the reality was indeed yuck.

Coffee in Betswy y Coed offered the chance for a review of plans.

Eventually, with little expectation, we decided to head South to Bala and visit a new-to-me area of smaller mountains in the hopes of slightly better weather and less duration if it was still awful.

The reality was the drive south and then west just got better and better and we arrived to blue sky and just a very cold wind.

What a find. Arenig Fach and its similarly named llyn were just beautiful. And off the beaten track we saw not a soul. Fabulous.
I hope I have the opportunity and sense to return in the future to explore more.
