• Close. This is telegraph pass up from Llanberis. Did do the Ogwen road after it though, which was equally awful. Pen y pass too.

    Was expecting awful weather but the cloud did nothing more than sit there.

  • That’s some juicy tarmac with inspiring photo work. Would you be ok with posting your route?

  • Ah cheers. Yeah, route is here https://www.komoot.com/tour/785883794

    The bit after llyn Ogwen down to capel curig is decent but I took the road; there's supposedly a track that runs parallel. From capel curig up to Pen y Pass is an absolute grind and I wouldn't recommend it. I suspect there's a better option, I just didn't look closely enough. Trouble is round there that there's no 'nipping across a valley' as there's often a mountain in the way. I would highly recommend both those first climbs though. Telegraph pass joins up with the rangers path up Snowdon and dinorwig is a closed road.

    I also did stwlan damn the day before, which is brilliant, and for some gravel stuff clocaenog/llyn brenig are brilliant.

    Some more photos: Clocaenog and view off the top of dinorwig
