More Wet Walking

 Clive and Jago set off for Ynys Ettws the CC hut which was the venue for the November meet. A wild windy drive brought us to Nant Peris where an accident had closed the road so we made a long detour round to the Pen y Pass approach. At Pen y Gwryd the police were blocking the road due to a landslide down the pass so we decided to retreat to Helyg where we found 2 family parties who were unable to get to Cwm Glas.

  On Saturday wind and rain were the dominant features in our choice of a walk round the hills behind Llanberis. These were relatively low so would miss the worst of the wind and we had not done them before.

A pleasant path took us to to the col below Foel Goch from where a steep slope led to the summit. Up to the col we had enjoyed dry conditions but now we were exposed to the wind and rain. The ridge then continued over Foel Gron and Moel Eilio from where we descended down the ridge to Llanberis.

 Meanwhile Dennis had arrived at Ynys Ettws early on Friday afternoon and fled from the rain as soon as the pass was open on Saturday morning.
 On Sunday the same weather conditions prevailed so we decided to traverse Creigiau Gleision above Capel Curig and return by the llyn Cowlyd Reservoir which we completed without incident and even got the occasional view.
