With the days running down in June, the only way for me to bag #6 was to go after work midweek and make sure I was back in for 8am.
So luckily a 20 minute drive to Eigiau for the start of the climb to Carnedd Llewellyn, Wales's second highest mountain (and one of the quietest!).
Some HAB with some riding saw me get to the summit at around 9:30, roll out the bag in the only decent spot and enjoy the sunset.

And that was 12 hours 10 minutes away from home
and I made it to work on time

Re: 12 hour, 3000ft overnighter
I was there a couple of weeks ago doing the welsh 3000s, it's beautiful. Is there a bridleway there or is it cheeky?

Nice one Jeff, looks like you beat me by 50m, altitude wise

Re: 12 hour, 3000ft overnighter
I'm afraid it's a tad cheeky but tbh I've never had grief riding/pushing here in the last 30 years. North Wales isn't renowned for its vast network of bridleways!
@htrider, ha! But as you're a bit further north, shall we call it a draw?
