For any one who fancies it, a couple of us plan to do a more strenuous walk on Saturday based on Cwm Eigiau (the location of the first Rucksack Club Hut). This circular walk of approximately 13 miles includes 3 of the Welsh 3000ft+ peaks – Carnedd Llewellyn, Foel Grach and Carnedd Gwenllian – and is just over 3700 ft of ascent in total. The route follows the full left side of Cwm Eigiau going over Pen Llitherig y Wrach, Pen yr Helgi Du and then acends Carnedd Llewellyn via the lovely Bwlch Eryl Farchog ridge. After topping Foel Grach and Carnedd Gwenllian the return route is down into Cwm Eigiau and passed the old RC Hut (now owned by Rugby Mountaineering Club) which indeed is a special place.
Starting point for the walk is the carpark (grid ref SH 732 663) at the end of the road into Cwm Eigiau from Tal-y-Bont. Start time 9:15 (based on leaving the hotel at around 8:30 for those who stayed Friday night).
(Anyone who wants the gpx route – let me know).
