Peaks: Arenig Fawr
Area: Arenig, Eryri
The first time for many years that Kate and I have been hillwalking as a couple. As such, it felt like the bittersweet beginning of a new era (although perhaps the children will finally come round to it one day!). After this morning's Parkrun, the day developed into a glorious midsummer afternoon. We headed up the track via Llyn Arenig Fawr, the bothy and the ridge, with a perfect cooling breeze to keep it comfortable. Superb clarity of light, with views to Cader Idris and Plynlimon, as well as Central Snowdonia, from the summit. After a relaxed lunch on the top, we headed down the fence line to the quarry but skirted the steep gully after both Kate's soles came off her boots (an indication of the length of the hillwalking gap!). I ran back to collect the car.
