With James, David and Adrian.	haydnw	08/11/2014
Another Epic adventure in North Wales 1st Summit of the day, from Capel Curig, climbing all the Glyders finishing at the Pen-Y-Gwyrd hotel.I took the ridge rising gradually to this summit,a perfect lead-in with amazing views. The track took me quite close and then i veered off to climb to the summit area to explore the cairn and climb all the rocky lumps vying for attention. Great views but Tryfan must wins on wow appeal. I returned to the path to climb Y Foel Goch.	Dazingdale	07/07/2014

11 mile walk from Cape Curig, across the wet Cefn-Y-Capel, up to Gallt Yr Ogof and Y Foel Goch then bagged Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr, then turning around walking back to Capel Curig. Clear day with clouds coming down onto summits towards the end.	DanTrig	14/05/2014
