Tryfan camping and climbing!

Gwern gof Uchaf campsite, Snowdonia, Wales

 

I rode my motorbike up from Bedford and used a long weekend (probably the Bank Holiday in May) to explore that nearby rugged peak of Tryfan. Happy days!

 

The name "Tryfan" is derived from its historical Welsh name of "Tri-faen". "Tri" meaning three and "faen" meaning rocks which makes reference to the 3 rocky humps seen on the mountain's summit. Tryfan was voted Britain’s favourite mountain by Trail magazine.
