I do it for the views.

Summit views?

Having spent my last day off as a man about town in the high streets, back streets and even canal streets of Chester and with tomorrow looking like much of the same. I had to make a quick hit in the mountains today. If only to get a bit more mileage in my Winter boots and to make my new jacket look less new!

So Sian, "poppy dog" and I headed out for a nice bimble up Yr Aran from the Nantgwynant side, a mountain that must be over looked by that masses due to its close proximity to Snowdon. After a quick diversionary adventure through a "secret tunnel" to an old slate mine we rapidly got to the summit. And with lunch inhaled and the views admired we aimed to boot it down the ace little ridge line back to the Watkin path but.....

Spicy Incline.

The spicy incline stood in our way, at first glance it looked like death, but with a quick inspection from above it was deemed that it was not only human friendly it was dog friendly much to poppy's relief. With that it was back home for tea and medals!
