Cwm Eigiau Horseshoe in Snowdonia

14/10/07

The Cwm Eigiau Horseshoe is a circular walk which starts from a remote car park near Llyn Eigiau  a few miles from the village of Tal-y-Bont. Eleven of us from the 40sWalkersNorth Club  did the 10 mile circuit and enjoyed a great day with good views from the summits. A superb walk in good weather.
