Llyn Crafnant from Crimpiau
Apologies for the picture quality but the weather was rapidly deteriorating - light was fading fast with clouds surrounding me.
When exploring the area surrounding the Crimpiau, the nearby higher Snowdonia peaks were all covered by low cloud. Even at this level, cloud and rain were returning - so I soon had to make a quick and safe exit to lower ground.
One mile further distant, from the previous stream image posted earlier, I'd reached the head of Nat y Geuallt, in better weather, which is a narrow pass dropping down to Llyn Crafnant - pictured below. There's also a left fork path that climbs steadily up the Crimpiau's Eastern flank until reaching the summit 475m (1,558ft) - from which this view of Llyn Crafnant was taken.
It's three quarter's of a mile long and lies in a beautiful valley where the Northern edge of the Gwdir Forest meets the lower slopes of the Carneddau mountains.
It's certainly a stunning view despite the adverse weather. I will definitely return!
