Another shot from my morning up Cadair Idris. This shot was a Jpeg and has had no correction or adjustments. I really love the colours outputted by the Olympus 16MP sensor. I'm having no regrets 'downgrading' my camera setup currently. Reducing the weight of carry when hiking has been much appreciated.

My first visit to Cadair Idris. Not sure why I had missed this location for so long. I only took a couple of shots of the waterfalls but this is definitely somewhere I will go back to explore some more.

Last weekend I did the Cadair Idris Hike for the first time. Typically however I was in cloud at the top and Beautiful skies either side of the Summit. Either way, still a great hike. Hopefully next time with some more predictable weather!

7 shot stich panorama of Llyn Cau on the ascent up Cadair Idris.

Taken from the seating area outside Ty'n y Cornel Hotel. Lovely view, surprisingly quiet and nice to be able be sat with my dad and enjoy it. Normally i'm half way up a mountain taking photos.

One of many beautiful cascades in and around our local area. Negative scanned with a Panasonic G9.

Hiked the Cadair Idris circular route last week 7 miles, close to 3000ft of accent. Legs aching the following day!

18c in April!

Fresh doughnuts, cheap shades purchased. And, a quick drone shot :)

Llyn Cynwch is a 22-hectare upland lake fishery in Wales, located near Dolgellau. It is part of the Nannau Estate and is known for its fishing, specifically for rainbow and brown trout, as well as pike. The lake also has a disabled platform and is a popular spot for walks, including the Precipice Walk

Cadair Idris range, North Wales.

Looking towards Cadair Idris. Panorama of 7 photos.

To sleep a night in a place like this;

so high above the majority of human residents of the area;
yet cradled by yet higher mountains;

a couple of bodies of water, cradled too by the mountains,

air, so much air - I could breath, really fill my lungs (and no not just with smoke!)

I guess I was just missing fire;

but I learn by trying stuff like this out - even if I forget a thing or two or take a wrong turn .........
So when I go back to it, I'll have a little experience with it and I'll know what I need for a fuller re-vist........

but waking up to this - who cares if I forgot the fire pit ♥

wonder if I could 'aquire' the boat hut though - make a better overnight residence than the car?? 😁

I've wanted to just be in a space like this for so long

me and me mountains ♥

so last week I said 'Hero - this is your life now and mom needs you summer/camping/Milky Way ready

a beautiful head clearing drive and 3/4's of a triple cheeseburger later (Hero got a chunk)
we drove up and up the tiniest path to a National Trust carpark at the very top nestled between the mountain tops

and oh my the peace was 👌
I felt so clam, still and very very safe, some may think I'm a nutter but to be up there in the pitch black, all alone bar my pup, just me, the dark and the mountains....as I settled down with the most massive puppy ever, big double sleeping bag, hot water bottle and lots of hand warmers, cuppa and a fag, my eyes adjusted to the dark, I could just be ♥ no doom scrolling or thoughts of everything....maybe the fleeting thought of one of the gusts winds which occasionally rocked the car may take me closer to Barmouth than intended but nope not even that could cause me fear....
Hero on the other hand had a little growling session through the car window.....but I assured him it was probably just a sheeps 😁

A very dissapointed Hero, at having been left in the warm car while I had a go at this ⬆ turned into a very fat Hero after discovering the family sized new york baked cheesecake and had scoffed the lot!!
Even now I still can't believe he ate all my cheesecake 😥
So I ate one of his sausage butties I'd made for us for breakfast while looking him dead in the eyes 😁

He's so warm and solid ~I slept through to the alarm, though it's true dogs do pumpy trump a lot, not so good in a car overnight - but I can't wait to do it again.....
we didn't get murdered by a crazy mad mountain axe man, though if he'd seen us and my level of crazy I reckon he'd of just quietly backed away 😁

that has got to be one of the best resets ever
