3000 foot overnighter!!

Post by summittoppler »

Here's the video from my September bivvy. Stayed at the refuge hut on Foel Grach (3150 feet) in North Wales.
A bit misty but you'll get the idea :wink:

Enjoyed that, good atmosphere with the mist...

Can you give an idea where you started from, and were you on tracks ? Can't see much on the map...

I started from Conwy, up conwy mountain then the usual track to Cae Coch Followed by the Roman Road (as per my July bivvy Video, Tal y Fan). Then the video starts with the climb of Drum following the bridleway. Then the death march up to the summit of Foel Fras. The plateau on the top can be a bit tricky in places in the mist but theres an ok path in places.

If I can I'll try and get a map up this evening showing it.......

Some pics of it up there on a clear day can be be found these albums:
