Cwm Caseg, has to be one of the remotest cwms in the whole of the National Park.
Its a long walk in, and when you get there, your feet are soaking wet, no matter what footwear your wearing, its almost impossible not to navigate past the saturated ground.
It has to be one of the finest alternative routes to gain the main Carneddau ridge, and the mountainside leading up to Er Elens main summit, is quite remarkable.
Apart from the Rhinogs, is the only location in Snowdonia, that during a very busy August Bank Holiday, i didn't encounter a single walker all day.
Maybe not the best route in poor visibility, but for total solitude and surrounding vistas, its absolute magic.
Probably the reason it gets so few visitors, is that its a long walk in, over very boggy ground, a lot of which, cannot really be avoided.
If you want dry feet, the Caseg valley is best avoided, but sitting down opposite the small lake below the slopes of Yr Elen, eating your sandwiches, with only the wild ponies or sheep for company.
Its one of those walks, that every keen walker should attempt once in their lives, as its so magical, surrounded by vast open spaces, and guaranteed peace and quiet.
