1st of 3 hills on a traverse from Waun Fawr to Carmel. My airbnb host John, dropped me off at Waun Fawr station and I was soon climbing up via the Snowdonia slate trail. Unfortunately I left my Sd card in my laptop but was able to capture some nice shots of the higher ranges on my phone. Beautiful sunshine on this day. Onwards to Moel Tryfan..Dazingdale23/09/2023
