My first day of my second Christmas/New Year walking trip to Snowdonia. And as usual my warm up walk is from Beddgelert, where I stay, up to Mynydd Sygyn

I'd been very unwell for a few weeks, so took it slowly on the snowy and icy rocks of the steep climb.

I count this hill as being in the Moelwyns, (others do as well), and I was to do all my walking of this
trip in these lovely mountains and hills.
