Cambrian Way Stage 21. Extreme weather on ultimate day. Solo.Rob Rees08/03/2024
gavinmcc17/02/2024
Went down from Carnedd Dafydd very rocky and low visibility from clouds and it was getting dark as well, cold and windy at the top but there was a shelter, part of long 10 mile walk. With Dad and Ptol.speedyclimber31/10/2023
From Carnedd Dafydd along Cambrian Way. Clouds and darkness were closing in so no views unfortunately. This is much harder than Snowdon! We took the same route back to Pen yr Ole Wen then stayed on Cambrian Way down to the road as we didn't fancy the scramble down in the dark. Lost the path a few times on the descent. About 10 mile round trip in all! With Tol and FelixRoguePulsar31/10/2023

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

Second visit to Llewelyn as part of a Carneddau one-way walk north to south with Dave. Parked Dave's car at Glan Dena on the A5 (SH 669 604) then in my car to Abergwyngregyn and the small carpark at SH 675 716. A day of two halves: before lunch it was sunny and breezy with clear views; but in the afternoon low cloud and squally rain blew in and the wind increased to 40mph gusting up to 50mph - arduous walking into the wind. Route was Drum, Foel Fras, Carnedd Gwenllian, Foel Grach, Carnedd Llewelyn, Carnedd Dafydd and Pen Y Ole Wen. Approx 12 miles with approx 4,000 feet ascent (at an average speed of 2mph). Started about 10.15; finished about 6pm, slowed by the wind.Skip16/02/2019

Started near disused post office in Gerlan. Multiple round ... Gyrn Wigau, Drosgl, Bera Bach, Bera Mawr, Carnedd Uchaf, Foel Grach, Carnedd Llewelyn, Carnedd Dafydd, Foel Meirch. Return to start. Time 6h 40min. Beautiful day amongst majestic mountains. Clear and sunny - breezy on tops. Some snow on tops. Views extending to Lake District, Wicklow mountains in Ireland, Mourne mountains in NI. Scrambling on the Bera's fun. Walked solo. No nav difficulties but paths indistinct when not on main Carneddau ridge. (Actually climbed first around 1994 but didn't get a view then ... note Snowdon looks much more than only 21m higher from here, towers above everything!)jamessteel10025/03/2017

Walk-through of Carnedds starting from Ogwen.Aye Jimmy26/08/2002
Parked at Gwern Gof Isaf, a campsite with basic facilities, and walked up the tarmac road almost to Ffynnon Llugwy Reservoir, a climb of nearly 1,000 feet. The footpath then branches off right and leads steeply up to Bwlch Eryl Farchog with magnificent views into Cwm Eigiau. Onwards towards Carnedd Llewelyn, and walkers only a short distance ahead were vanishing into the mist. There is an obstacle in the form of near vertical rocks which fortunately have good footholds, and following this the walk to the summit is easy until the final steep stretch. The summit is a vast plateau and notoriously difficult to negotiate in mist, which was intermittent by this time.peter4lc25/08/2002
Start ~ 633662, roadside Bethesda. Took the valley of the Afon Caseg for over 3km before heading south, directly up Yr Elen, was a rather steep ascent. Moved on to Carnedd Llewelyn and then West to Carnedd Dafydd.We then dropped down to the North to the insignificant summit of Foel Meirch before continuing back down to the start.
