11.4 mile circular from Aber Falls road. Along the good track to Llyn Anafon ascending Llwytmor on a mix of sheep paths and trails. From here we followed trails to Foel-Fras and Drum (both 2nd time bagged). Descending the good track north-west, then onto trail over Pen Bryn-Du, Yr Orsedd, Foel-Ganol and Foel Dduarth (21m prominence). Heading down and back to road. 1141m ascent. Great views in sunny/high cloud conditions. Only a few people about. | DanTrig | 13/09/2023 |
Myself and Hitman9956 had a walk up Foel-fras (944m) from Llanfairfechan, taking in Carnedd y Ddelw (686m) and Drum (771m) along the way. It was a clear day, dull but occasional breaks of sun, and some dramatic views. I hadn't originally planned on making a third visit to this summit today but we decided it would be good for Hitman to reach this summit so continued to the top. | meltdiceburg | 10/09/2023 |
