Splintered Splendour. (Explored).

A portrait shot of Castell y Gwynt high on the Glyderau in Eryri National Park. Known as "Castle of the Winds" in English, it forms a fabulously splintered summit between Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach.

I took this on a marvellous day out with Clive Griffiths back in March when we were treated to some very clear weather. In fact Clive stayed down there camping for a good few days in fine weather. It was bitterly cold in a strong wind on the summit ridge here, but the air was clear and we got some wonderful photos to remind ourselves of a wonderful Snowdonian day.

Castle of the Winds / Castell y Gwynt

Within 30 minutes of making it up onto the Glyders the clouds rolled in. Not great for the views which were mostly hidden but every now and then the clouds would clear revealing the dramtic landscape.

Castel y Gwynt

Another from a particularly fine day on the Glyders. One of my favourite places in Eryri - the Castell y Gwynt (or Castle of the Winds in English). As you see it is a spikey outcrop on the edge of Glyder Fach, perched at the top of the cliffs on the northern side. It does get in the way if you are walking beween Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr (seen in the distance on the right here, Yr Wyddfa is on the left), but it is good sport scrambling right over the top. It is bigger and steeper than it looks.

Most people cross Crib Goch from north to south and this will take you past this trig-point on the Snowdon Horseshoe route. However, the first time I went to it was from a small detour off the Ranger path. It can offer a great view south of Crib Goch as well as the rest of the Yr Wyddfa massif.
