Carnedd Llwellyn, Foel Fras, Foel Grach

Weather was a bit marginal, but we went ahead with Friday's visit to Snowdonia. Visibility down to 25m, horizontal rain, and 3 degrees C on top, just the way we like it for a late summer walk!

We found the easy sites, but the more challenging (some say impossible) sites eluded us.

We think we probably found the rock that Anson N5371 hit, which features in many books and websites. We aren't however so short of pics this week that we need a picture of a rock. We like to show genuine physical evidence. We are wreckhunters, not rockhunters.

We'll be back for the others after a bit more research.

Scraps of aluminium found as we ascended Foel Fras, above Llyn Dulyn. Though we knew there was more in the area, we were on a bit of a whistle-stop tour...
