Area: Carneddau, Eryri
Drosgl doesn't see many visits, even from me. It's a shapeless plateau on the edge of the Carneddau and a long haul from Aber. I went fairly well from the A55 up to the Falls, but then slowed for the route up the wet valley below Wnion. This has a tiny path for a section but then becomes very wet and hard going, almost a gorge. I hopped across the river for the extremely steep climb out the other side which eventually gains gentler slopes. From here, it is not too bad across to Bera Mawr, but I went straight for Drosgl. Conditions on the high peaks were very wintry, a lot of snow with more falling. Given my garb, I had to launch plan B, which was to join the main Aryg path down to towards Gyrn and a climb up the front of Moel Wnion. The descent down to Aber is always fast and hugely enjoyable with the Menai Strait in front, and today was no exception.
