Snowdonia
Another bank holiday, another camping trip. This time in Snowdonia, staying at Dolgam near Capel Curig.
Saturday started with some mountain biking at Coed y Brenin. Firstly the green Yr Afon trail (at 5 year old pace!) then after lunch a much more exciting mix of MinorTaur (blue) and Cyflym Coch (red).
To cool down after that we went wild swimming in the Llugwy, just below the siphon-tastic mess that is Pont Cyfyng. Yuck. Others did actually swim, but I splashed around waist deep because it was rather cold.
On Sunday I turned down more mountain biking on grounds that the Penmacho trail would probably break me (and indeed, they had quite a few crashes). Instead we had a little wander around Betws y Coed and ate some welshcakes.
In the afternoon while others went to the Tryweryn, 3 of us walked up Moel Siabod, starting at Plas y Brenin and ending back at the campsite. 10k of steep up and down, with a bit of a scramble along the top and fantastic views. And a really good time of day for it, as all the big groups of walkers were on their way back down 
at the top, enjoying the view over non cloudy Snowdon!
More (savoury! yum yum) welshcakes on the Monday as I popped into Betws again before heading home.
