DAY 2 | Three Nights Alone In The Rhinog Mountains – Snowdonia Wilderness Backpacking Adventure!

On my second day adventuring, I take a dip in Pistyl Gwyn waterfall and make my way along Bwlch Drws-Ardudwy valley between Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach. The rest of the day was gruelling as hell; a pathless, 500m ascent up the westerly flanks of Rhinog Fawr, over boulders, boggy ground & deep heather. My map skills (and patience) were tested, but I was rewarded for my efforts with the most beautiful views over Gloyw Lyn, where I made camp for the night at 400m, in total solitude as the sun went down.

DAY 3 COMING NEXT FRIDAY at 2:30pm 😀 for the remaining descent from Rhinog Fawr and finding a magical lil wooded cove on Llyn Cwm Bychan, where I made my third and final camp of the trip.

Thank you so much for watching 😊 Claire 🌿🐻
