Peaks: Aran Benllyn
Area: Aran, Eryri
Began the Christmas break with a long run from HK to Waun y Llyn and back yesterday, so it was nice to follow up with this relaxing jaunt in the Arans. Weather worse than forecast as we left Llanuwchllyn for the long but gentle haul up the ridge. Snow flurries from time to time, particularly as we entered the clag at the steepening below Benllyn. Rich was struggling slightly, therefore the full ridge was obviously out, so I just nipped up Benllyn alone after a superb brief clearance as the wind tore a gap in the clouds. All lakes frozen, and major wind chill, so I didn't hang round. A heavy snow flurry as we hastened down to warmth and a pint in Bala.
