Thought we had walked on or knew of all the recognized routes over the Carneddau until we clicked
on www.worldwidewales.tv ,(click on walks then click on Ffynnon Llyffant ) the walk starts from
Cwn Eigiau then goes on to Cedryn mine then by a small path to Ffynnon Llyffant ,the highest lake
in Wales , then up Y Drystan ,not shown on o/s map to the top of Llewelyn,is Y Drystan the ridge
to the left of the lake ? how steep is it ? can it be found from the top? We were up there a few
weeks ago arrived at the lake but we were beaten back by low cloud base and lack of day light so
we retreated over to Melynllyn ..any help? . Keith .

It is just a steep walk on rather loose rocks. An easier way is to follow the strem to the right
which leads to the plateau between Llewelyn and Foel Grach. I got blind drunk once at a party at the
cottage at Cedryn.....

No, it belongs to a local farmer. A friend of mine use to have the use of it, I am going back 30
years or more. There is a club hut by the path a mile or so towards Craig-yr-Isfa belonging to a
Midlands club, I forget which one.
