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.

Lindsey and Dylan walking in Snowdonia on the Glyders. Lindsey wanted to walk the plateau but the Snow had come in a few days before so it turned to be Lindsey’s first winter mountain walk and she handled it with no problems. This is all preparation for the Welsh 3000s in the summer which I think she will handle it with ease! Excellent preparation Lindsey!
