Cheers!

We did indeed go up yesterday, via the hut circle - great views of Tryfan's east side from the ridge. Up to Llyn Caseg Fraith, then a big load of cloud came over from the Carneddau as we were on our way up Glyder Fach, brief rain then misty clag on the top.

We went across to Castell y Gwynt and Snowdon briefly came out to play, but Glyder Fawr was also in clag, so no views. The descent off the top to the col is nasty steep scree paths (hurting toes) and then the path basically goes over the cliff to to Devil's Kitchen. You wouldn't believe it could go that way, but some enterprising souls have put a stair of stone blocks in (thank you!).

Lovely down in Cwm Idwal, but a tedious road slog back to the car again.

Note for Gladman - yes you can see the Dyffryn Mymbyr stone circle (or at least where it is) from Castell y Gwynt.
