From Mountain Road above Llanfairfechan and along NW path into lovely quiet valley. . Great views.Mark Sims21/07/2022
Parked in Sychnant Pass. Started with Maen Esgob, went on to Moel Hafodwen, Clip y Orsedd then finished with Penmaenmawr via the quarry. There's foortpaths all way. There's lots of horses but they don't bother you if you don't bother them, as long as there's no foels. You can avoid them if you're nervous. It's 12 miles to do them all. Plus any smaller hills along the way: like MolfreSkarletk30/01/2022
