Happy Christmas one and all.
Castell y Gwynt
by Clive Griffiths

I fear this as close as I will get to the mountains this winter, with Wales going into full lockdown again today. This is the Castell y Gwynt (or Castle of the Winds in English) is one of the most iconic places in Snowdonia. As you see it is a spikey outcrop on the edge of Glyder Fach, perched at the top of the cliffs on the northern side.

Here's another of one of my favourite places in Snowdonia - the Castell y Gwynt (or Castle of the Winds in English). As you see it is a spikey outcrop on the edge of Glyder Fach, perched at the top of the cliffs on the northern side. It does get in the way if you are walking beween Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr (seen in the distance here), but it is good sport scrambling right over the top. It is bigger and steeper than it looks.
