Welsh 3000s solo and unsupported, starting Yr Wyddfa, finish at Foel Fras. Got a lift to Pen Y Pass and followed the pyg track to Yr Wyddfa summit start. Carried all food and equipment I needed for the day. Collected water from natural supplies as needed. I did the route in reverse the week before as a bit of a reccy for the unsupported attempt so knew where I could find water. Crib Goch and the first down hill section was fantastic. Elidir fawr climb was a lot hotter and slower than expected. I felt good once I got running after reaching Elidir Fawr summit, along the glyders and Tryfan. The second big climb up pen yr ole wen was brutal. Legs were dead for the Carneddau section and considering this I was pleased to get to the end in under the 6hrs.
