Today Rhods, Bentley and I climbed up the so-called mountain of Elidir Fawr. This is just behind Llanberis on the slate mine side of the lake. Since Snowden is on the other side of the valley, this is normally where people go walking. I wasn't particularly impressed with this walk, since we were down slogging through boggy hummocky terrain for most of the day, but once we got up high it was better.
It was an ok walk. Neither of us felt all that great but it was wonderful to be out in the fresh air and mountainous terrain. Plus it is always nice to be able to get immersed in one's own "trail thoughts" and just be free to think and daydream while walking.
