Monday 3rd June 2019 - Glasgwm GW/NW-015 & Aran Fawddwy GW/NW-007

Looking up to Glasgwm from the car park Another ford to negotiate

Amazing day. Outstanding route. Spectacular views.

Good walking along a graded track Getting a bit steeper here!

We went light for this long walk, minimising the weight of our packs by carrying only VHF handhelds for our radio needs. I think this proved to be a very sensible idea.

Final ascent before the summit Jimmy by the tarn, just below the summit

From the car park at the head of the valley, we zigzagged up a steep track to attain the ridge to Glasgwm. This was a gorgeous summit, with a very lofty tarn (cwm) right beside the highest point. I presumed this was how the summit got its name?

We each made enough contacts before setting off for Aran Fawddwy GW/NW-007.
