Report

Solo / self supported Welsh 3000s run. Started from Foel Fras rather than Yr Wyddfa. Very windy, wind direction suited a North-South run but meant more elevation gain than if you run it Yr Wyddfa to Foel Fras. Rock was dry, temperatures cold on the summits in the wind and warm in the shelter of the valleys. Stashed some food at Ogwen and Nant Peris the previous evening. Carried all other gear I needed apart from water which I collected from natural sources along the route as required. Walked up to Foel Fras from Aber car park and ran down the Llanberis path from the summit of Yr Wyddfa. Fantastic day out running in the mountains!
