Dyffryn Mymbyr from Clogwyn Mawr near Capel Curig, Conwy, North Wales - Happy Fence Good Friday (HFF) Everyone!
Now the Welsh COVID travel restrictions have eased from Saturday 27th March, I took advantage of this that day by further exploring the valleys around Capel Curig.
Early afternoon sees me overlooking Dyffryn Mymbyr - a valley running Westerly from the village of Capel Curig (middle right) to the Pen-y-Gwryd Hotel in Snowdonia, containing the twin lakes - Llynnau Mymbyr. The Snowdon Horseshoe can be seen a distant right, partly concealed cloud, behind the furthest lake. The Carneddau Mountains (a most inhospitable place) tower immediately above the lakes' Northern Shoreline to the right.
Originally, Llynnau Mymbyr was one lake - about three quarters of a mile long in total - but a delta has built up midway along its North Shoreline and this has to all intents and purposes cut the lake into two - hence the plural name.
In the middle left foreground are the Capel Curig Pinnacles, (marked Y Pincin on maps) which are a series of rocky platforms also affording excellent Westerly views. Please see my earlier posting within my Snowdonia National Park album.
Happy Fence Good Friday everyone. Enjoy your Easter weekend but above all continue to stay safe and well too!
