Glyder Fach, Snowdonia last week.

Last Tuesday Lyn Bella and Pete set out early for Glyder Fach 994m from the car park beside Llyn Ogwen. The weather was perfect and held throughout the day. They took the route up to Cwm Bochlwyd and Bwlch Tryfan from where they picked up the Miner's Track across Cwm Tryfan onto the long broad E shoulder of Glyder Fach which they ascended to the summit.

Heading up the path to Llyn Bochlwyd with Llyn Ogwen and Pen Yr Ole Wen beyond.



Llyn Bochlwyd nestles below in Cwm Bochlwyd as the path to Bwlch Tryfan leads upwards. Y Garn and Foel Goch in the distance appear above the rocky ridge of Y Gribbin which leads upwards to the summit plateau of Glyder Fawr.

Far in the distance on the broad  E shoulder of Glyder Fach nestles Llyn y Caseg-fraith with the bulk of Y Foel Goch rising  beyond.
