September 26, 2021,Eryri: Aran Fawddwy & Glasgwm from Cwm Cwyarch 🔼

A tough solo walk on a circuit of Aran Fawddwy and Glasgwm. These are two of the lesser-appreciated peaks in Eryri (and as a result, were very quiet). Don't be fooled, though. The scenery is often spectacular (and occasionally boggy).
