Pen Llithrig y Wrach

Bentley with Tryfan the mountain in the background

Today Rhodri, Bentley and I squeezed in another walk in Snowdonia and it was another great one! We went up Pen Llithrig y Wrach, which translates to "Slippery Head of the Witch" and has got to be the coolest name for a mountain in the world!

I've always liked this mountain because she is visible from the Conwy/ Llandudno area and she is kind of an indicator for what sort of weather conditions the mountains of Snowdonia are having at any given time. So it was nice to finally meet her, and even better that Rhodri had never been up either!

Walking down the slippery head of the witch

It was a bit swampy getting going, but once we were on the ridge it was fine. Actually the weather was kind of chilly but the clouds were kind to us and didn't rain - only passed by overhead looking dramatic. We were across the valley from Tryfan the mountain, and it was nice to be able to admire him all day from different angles.

Walking down "y Braich" on the way back to the car.

These wild ponies pretty much ignored us and went on with their grazing

So, another super walk made possible by Nain and Taid who agreed to look after the kids for us!
