From Rhyd-Ddu car park (£5.00 for the day), taking the Rhyd-Ddu trail up over Llechog, visiting Pt. 931m on the south ridge before heading north to the busy summit. Descent by the south ridge, then west through the quarries from Bwlch Cwm Llan to rejoin the ascent path. Some sunshine at first, with the cloud lifting from the summits as I reached Llechog. But then the cloud rolled in and stayed for hours, only lifting in the evening to sunshine again as I approached Rhyd-Ddu. Chilly south-west wind, with the distinct feel of autumn. Practice hike for my forthcoming Mt. Olympos trek, witn heavy pack. Solo.
