O: My GR seems 60m out from that on HB. However if I were at that location I would not be here to make this log! HP was clear enough and viz good so no equivocation as to where I was.

Four furths with Richard Moore, Jason Fulton and Karen Webber, on OMC trip to Snowdonia. Parked on A5 at trees in Glen Dena. Headed up Pen yr Ole Wen (978m) first, then Carnedd Dafydd (1044m), followed by an outing to Yr Elen (962m) finishes on Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m). Descended via Llugwy Reservoir and walked back along the A5, 7:10hrs all in.chillyman821/09/2023

10.6 mile out-and-back from car park at end of road near Llyn Eigiau. We followed the good track NW around the end of the Cefn Tal-Llyn-Eigiau ridge then after the 2nd wall heading SW a good trail starts ascending to Craig Eigiau summit. We followed it across the surprisingly un-boggy Gledrffordd moor and ascended to col between Carnedd Llewelyn and Foel Grach. Then it's an easy rocky ascent onto Carnedd Llewelyn's summit (2nd time bagged). Great views in all directions but a bit hazy today. We then descended through easy rocks and stones from summit onto the Yr Elen ridge and easily onto it's summit. We retraced our steps and climbed part way back up Llewelyn joining our outward route, then descended back to car park pretty much the same way. 903m ascent throughout. Not many people about on this lovely sunny day. Afterwards we drove just down the road and bagged Waen Bryn-Gwenith.DanTrig15/06/2022
