Relaxing Walk around Llyn Idwal, Snowdonia

With high winds and rain forecast I’m staying low, so join me on a relaxing low level walk around one of my favorite lakes, Llyn Idwal in the Ogwen Valley, Snowdonia.

Devils Kitchen

During the editing process, I was sent a link on the origin of the name “the Devil’s Kitchen”. Apparently in olden times, after rain steam could be seen escaping the dark gully in the cliffs above Llyn Idwal. The gully appeared like a chimney and the steam was believed to be sinister and was a result of the Devil cooking in his kitchen.

It’s not something I’ve seen myself but I can imagine how the dark imposing cliffs could be thought of as sinister

Taken from a series on how to navigate, this compass tip can save you in low visibility navigation. Measuring slope aspect (which way a slope faces) is sometime all you have got to use. On a hill side, at nigh or in fog, it's easy to get lost and come down on the wrong side of the hill. By measuring slope aspect you can easily find out which way the slope is facing and which way you need to go. ⏱️⏱️TIMECODES⏱️⏱️ 00:00 Intro 00:28 Measuring the slope aspect 00:58 Map and compass navigation My kit list - not all taken on this trip.

Filmed in 2019, while hiking in Snowdonia National Park I went for a scrambling ascent of the North Ridge of Tryfan. Tryfan is in North Wales and stands at 918m (3,010 ft) and is a long narrow and rocky mountain. The east face and Milestone Buttress are popular with rock climbers but today I followed the north ridge, taking the more challenging route to the summit, where Adam and Eve stand. Two rocky pinnacles that stand watch over the Ogwen valley.

Today we're doing a tree dismantle of a diseased Horse Chestnut. This involves climbing and dismantling the tree branch by branch. With lots of obstacles underneath, this one was fun to do as I love a challenge.
