Ty Coch was inviting ...the 20 minute walk with a bad ankle wasn't
Great week I have to say ...it's well worth investing in OS digital mapping for an area like this ...finding all the nooks and crannies is a breeze.
The Thursday was very very wet ...around 3.5 inches of rain .....we drove back from the mountain tracks through Capel Curig and down to Beddgelert through some really deep water that others were turning around from. It was great to put the Disco and 'Wade Sensing' through it's paces though 8)

Nice selection of photos, some great scenery there Did you make your poor wife stand out in that howling gale with the rain lashing down just so she could video you splashing through a ford? Cheers Ian

She volunteered as she thought I'd be swept off ...should have heard the screaming when we went through a flood on the A498
