Image of Pen Llithrig y Wrach (Round Cairn) by GLADMAN

The fact that I can’t convey the emotions generated by moments such as the one (sort of) captured here – a few seconds of my life – without waving arms and wild gesticulations suggests a possible motive for the placement of upland cairns... the impossibly enigmatic Tryfan can be seen centre left rising above Llyn Ogwen. Carnedd Dafydd is top right skyline with Garnedd Fach visible to its left, even at this distance.
