Last month, we used two cars to walk the length of the Carneddau; from Aber Falls to Ogwen. While the forecast was fairly poor, we actually ended up with a decent morning. The afternoon was a different story, however. Strong wind and rain really made this a day of two halves

Good one Dave and a brilliant day by the looks O0 I’ve been up Dafydd, Llewelyn and Pen y Ole Wen but not the others yet, all on the list.
-
Looks like you had an adventure there Dave. It's been a while since I visited the Carneddau. It has a very remote and wild feel to the place, and your photos captured that nicely O0
-
Looks like an epic day.
-
looks grand !Those last two with the cloud/mist, I like. When it is like that it does cut the views down but can create some nice photo ops` none the less..
-
You're not wrong! The mist can certainly add an eerie quality to the mountains
-
Cracking walk - I love the Carnedds
-
An excellent traverse route. The Carneddau can be really wild, the mist gave some atmospheric pictures there. O0

Just as Dave says, 'twas a real day of two halves. It was unexpectedly sunny all morning with great views but the afternoon was a 'mare with increasingly strong gusty winds and the cloud down. I found the last hour or two really arduous to be honest.
Great photos, Dave - thanks.
