Eastern Glyderau circuit 2-day backpack

[vghikers]

A 2-day circuit of the eastern arm of the Glyderau, approaching Bwlch Tryfan from Capel Curig via Gallt yr Ogof and Y Foel Goch and returning via Llyn Bochlwyd and the byway of Telford's old road along the valley.

I walked this approach on my Tryfan East solo backpack in 2014, the main objective of this trip was to make that excellent tent pitch at Llyn Caseg-fraith together on a joint trip. The conditions were even better this time, two days of superbly clear and sunny weather with the last remnants of snow to spice the scenery.

Great report and photos 

Is that a Nigor Parula tent you are using? Is it worth the high cost? We are looking around at tents to replace our Drift, not that we are in a hurry, it should last us another year at least.  We have the Parula on our maybe list.

It is indeed a Nigor Parula 2.
It was certainly worth the price tag to us. It's easily the roomiest tent we've ever had, long and loads of headroom with two big porches, and also the lightest (between 1.6 and 1.7kg, + pegs). It has good long guylines, two on each side, and two full size doors.
