Back to Bangor station. Taking it fairly easy, except for the inclines coming into Bangor, where it was more about not annoying the other road users...

Tryfan and the Glyders, descending next to the Devil's Kitchen, mainly with Mr Bell. Out for ~7 hours but stationary for a fair bit. 'Interesting' route to the top of Tryfan - definitely non-standard...

Views from all of the tops today, with only some fleeting cloud passing through, though Snowdon appeared to be shrouded for most of the day.

C • Why... 4

Short run out in the evening - loop from the cottage to Tywyn Aberffraw dunes. Into the wind (~18mph) on the way out, apart from the section where a little diversion added nearly 3k onto the route... Bit different on the route back, managing to go up small hills in top gear with the tailwind.

Wander along coastal path from Holyhead, and onto/up Holyhead Mountain

County tops: Anglesey

Snowdon and Garnedd Ugain with Mr Bell - half the horseshoe route from Pen y Pass. Out for 6 hours, a fair few stops so just recording half that time. As with every Welsh mountain I've climbed, shrouded in cloud - conditions unfortunately not as good as initially forecast. Some punter doing the 3 peaks met us out there - he had a map and compass, but not convinced he could use either...

County tops: Gwynedd
