Reading glasses on and it'ssuddenly
Iago !!
I remember reading about Colin D. attempt a few years back, always bore in mind that it must have been pretty special for him not to breeze round - even solo.
I can't see me attempting it now, I just don't have the time to put into recceing the North round, having seen how important the correct line is. South I know pretty well. But a couple of questions out of interest.
Off the road South of M. Llyfnant, I came up the valley to about 812320, then stuck to the Easterly side of the Mynydd Bryn-Llech ridge, above the valley floor, had a sheep trod most of the way ( a bit meandering) past Cefn y Griafolen to the ford below Dduallt. Was this correct or should I have climbed to top of the ridge ? Would it be better ground up there?
Dduallt to Rhobell Fawr, now how in heavens name do I get there. I followed the whole forestry fence line Southwards looking for a fire break etc. I thought they must have a way thru' somewhere. I got to 800254 and walked up the stream bed, interesting, but I never spotted another way. Is that it or is there a 'secret path' ?
Trees may have grown since your round?
I went up Arenig Fach from NW slope, I can assure you the heather has grown again, a nightmare for those of us with short legs, and all the way down the other side.
