Glyderau loop

Peaks: Glyder Fach, Glyder Fawr
Area: Glyderau, Eryri
A tad illicit but also memorable, this was just before the easing of restrictions. From Conwy, however, it's a local outing. I didn't fully realise that the honeypot areas like Ogwen and Snowdon really had been sealed off (in fact I had rather hoped to do the Snowdon Horseshoe in total isolation). Instead, I found a stile without a sign, hopped over and jogged up towards Bochlwyd crag, over the stream and steeply up to the lake. Total isolation and very memorable, particularly up to Bwlch Tryfan and Bristly Ridge with nobody anywhere near. Bristly gave the usual entertainment, and all the mist lifted for the jog across the Glyder plateau to Fawr. Down to Llyn y Cwn then good running to Idwal and across the hill to the same stile - 1.45 for the whole loop.
