Welsh 3000s The summit of Y garn. Relaxing on the summit


The Welsh 3000s with Lindsey and Dylan on the Glyders, and with only a few more summits to go of the Welsh 3000s. Lindsey has managed easily the long hard walk up Elidir Fawr from Nant Peris. It’s the longest and hardest continuous uphill section of the Welsh 3000s. We were all glad we reached the summit eventually. Then we continued around the valley pass Foel Goch to Y Garn. An excellent day on the Glyders.
