After riding with Allen (Escape Goat) for the first time way back in January on the BB Winter Event, he asked me on a few occasions if I'd show him a route in Snowdonia and take in a bivvy. So I dipped into the 'Summittoppler book of mtb' routes and delivered this beauty on Friday/Saturday.
A bit breezy late afternoon had me thinking of a plan B but it wasn't needed as the wind soon died down.
The destination was Carnedd Llewellyn which stands at 3491 feet and is Wales's 2nd highest peak.
Typically its the one in the cloud...

Good training for Allen's BB200
