A Short Walk in Wales

by Nick Carey

A short walk from the sleepy village of Roewen in the Conwy Valley, Gwynedd. This walk takes you through the village, up the lower slopes of Tal y fan. Then on to Bwlch y Ddeufaen, up to Carnedd y Ddelw and onto the 3091ft summit of Foel Fraz via Drum.

This walk was undertaken on Thursday 17 November 2005 after a sharp frost.
