Finally got to show Patrick one of my favourite places - Cwm Idwal (photo credit goes to him). Unfortunately the walk was cut VERY short due to the Biblical rain and wind (photos don't even begin to show the extent of it). So we'll just have to go back again some time!
@aroundthehills I'm just starting in this way.
Our first trip was cycling with my 7yo to a premier inn in London carrying our clothes.
Then to the YHA hostel at #CwmIdwal with more in our bags.
And the other day we went #Champing in #Wroxeter which is when we packed the most to date! Next stop, the #bothy near #Bala!
This is one of the pictures of my boy which I will probably cherish for a long time.
If you zoom in on the right, where the road shoots up, you will see a little dot.
That's our 7yo attacking the last mile of an 11m. 100m climb, peaking at 18% incline.
Never stopped. I am so proud.
This was part of a lovely ride from #Bangor to #CwmIdwal on #ncn82 / #lonlasogwen
Then walked up Cwm Ideal & had a lovely evening at #yhaidwalcottage
Dusk at Cwm Idwal looking towards Pen Yr Ole Wen. A long exposure drags out the last of the day's light.

A chilly dawn at Cwm Idwal. Temperature in the minus something horrible!
The sun had not yet risen but a long exposure brought light to the scene.

Llyn Ogwen and Ogwen Cottage in snow taken using Canon M6II and the classic little 22mm pancake.
Awesome combo, but I can't get used to the removable viewfinder. Too much hassle to keep attaching in the field and the camera is oddly shaped with it attached so won't fit in a bag đ€·đŒââïž

Up above Cwm Idwal looking back down towards Pen Yr Ole Wen.
I had to almost wade through snow to get down from the main path to this spot. Not a soul here, a soft breeze and the sound of water trickling through the ice on the mountain behind me.
