Today, now Ozzy is almost a year old I am going to take him up his first mountain summit, as with Molly it will be fitting that it is the same that she did Y-Garn in the Ogwen valley in Snowdonia. HERE
Having Parked along Llyn Ogwen and walked along to the white cottages , the start of the walk up to Llyn Idwal. The mountain path goes through this rock gorge behind the visitor centre .
Ozzy jumped the style no problem .
I will keep him on the lead up here , there are sheep and Mountain Goats, and he may jump of a sheer drop also.
Looking down Ogwen valley, Cym Idwal is on the right
The Glyders looking very atmospheric.
Onwards and upwards , its a fairly easy path most of the way until the steeper scree section which is always very slippery underfoot.
Treat time for Ozzy
Pen-y-ole-wen on the left with Llyn Ogwen on the right.
Haha wonder what he is thinking right now!
Looking down from the scree section at Llyn Ogwen on the left , Cym Idwal in the middle , Tryfan over to the right , it is easier going up than down. All the rock slides under your feet. its actually easiest in the snow :)
Cairn on the final slope to the summit , the Snowdon range in the background.
Made it!
Great view from up here , its quite busy up here with 5 others at the summit. I guess Snowdon will be absolutely rammed with people today!
Posing on his first Summit , Well done Ozzy
Tryfan and the Glyders over to the right corner
Panorama Pen-yr-ole-wen , Tryfan and Glyder Fach
Cairn stones with Snowdon range behind
The path towards Glyder Fawr
Time to head back down now past a cairn near to top of the scree
A last look Ozzy
After descending the scree , which was extremely slippery , i look back to where we have just come from , it will be covered in snow the next time we come up here hopefully.
Final image
A great day in Snowdonia , hopefully wont be too long before another adventure here........... Covid dependant
