#YrWyddfa

No photos from our walk up #YrWyddfa (#Snowdon) yesterday because I was too frustrated on the climb and seething by the time we reached the summit.

The lower part was mostly great, we walked from Rhyd Ddu on the Snowdon Ranger extension through the quarry before heading up the Snowdon Ranger path proper and didn't see another soul.

Just after the quarry the litter started; food packets, water bottles, cider cans, dog poo bags a lunchbox and a safety blanket. The further we went up the more litter we found and picked up.

By the time we got back down i had filled half of a 65 litre backpack with rubbish, it is so frustrating.

More than frustrating and bordering on rage inducing were the people setting off "party poppers" from the summit to see how far the rubbish would blow or the idiot who spat to see where it would blow! Yeah, the wind was blowing TOWARDS people.

I despair of people sometimes but at least I know there must be other people gathering rubbish or Snowdon and other mountains would be nothing but mounds of rubbish.

Rant over.

Just back from helping a friend clear her mam's house at #Beddgelert in #Cymru. I've been fortunate enough to visit some beautiful places but Beddgelert village and its surroundings are some of the best.

Nestled in the shadow of Moel Hebog, Beddgelert is a delight.

We managed to find time for a couple of walks down the Glaslyn gorge and Jethro introduced himself to Rawley Clay's fantastic bronze statue of Gelert.

My only regret was climbing #YrWyddfa instead of going up #MoelHebog, a good reason to visit again in my book!

(Poor Photos are #CC0)

In the foreground a green field of grass mowed short by sheep (in midground). The field is surrounded by a dry stone wall and leafless trees. In the background are the brown flanks and peak of Moel Hebog under a bright blue sky with whispy white clouds.
Standing on rough paving stones and grass is Gelert, a life sized verdigris bronze statue of a hound. Standing nose to nose with Gelert is Jethro a reddish-yellow Labrador. Jethro had a good sniff because he is clearly confused at Gelert not responding! In the background is a blue grey dry stone wall.
A rocky gorge with a shallow river running along it. In the background are pine trees and an overcast sky.
