Walking Log of David Preston

 
28/12/03- A Walk on near the Glyders from Idwal Cottage and climbing Y Foel Goch and Gallt yr Ogof - 7miles. The weather was dry with strong winds - temp of minus 2 centrigrade  and according to the Rangers information the wind chill on the mountains was minus 20 centrigrade - it certainly felt like it. A great walk though.
   
Looking up towards Tryfan at the start of the walk
   
Looking south over Llyn Idwal towards Glyder Fach
   
Looking up the snow covered path towards Bwlch Tryfan with the lower slopes of Tryfan on the left and the start of Bristly Ridge scramble on the far right
   
Looking from Bwlch Tryfan to the ridge between Glyder Fach and Y Foel Goch.

There is faint track visible in the snow

   
Looking across to Glyder Fach from Y Foel Goch

It was bitterley cold

The track down starts just past the small pool on the ridge

   
A view of Tryfan from the ridge described in the photo above

The Devils Kitchen behind Llyn Idwal
   
A great walk in very cold weather which doesn't bother me, but it is so much nicer with a little bit of sunshine, refreshments are available at the car park when you get back- you can't beat a steaming mug of tea at the end of the walk
