Spur of the moment decision to give the Cwm Eigiau Horseshoe a visit.
Something really strange happened today, from leaving the shockingly pot holed upper Eigiau carpark, and a full anti clockwise traverse of the full horseshoe, i completed it back to the car, in 4hrs 17min.
It was quite windy, with a chill wind, throughout most of the walk, but i felt just superb.
Carpark to the cairn on Llewellyn's summit, 1hr 42min, and three hours exactly to the style below Pen Lithrig Y Wrach.
I much prefer an ascent of Pen Yr Helyg Ddu from Craig Yr Ysfa, rather than a decent from the Lithrig y Wrach side,, as the ground above Pen Yr Helyg is very steep and sheer, always frightens me.
Just enjoyed the entire walk, and just over 4hrs really surprised me.
I was not walking particularly quickly, but i can never remember doing it this quickly, everything just felt right for a quick traverse.
