Kerry Walker takes a road trip through Bannau Brycheiniog National Park

When the weather gods deem the mountains of North Wales inclement, there’s a group of hills nearby that nearly always defy the order from on-high. The Llyn Peninsula’s Yr Eifl, is a case of three for one, and all in half a day.

Ascent 903m/2960ft 12.3km / 7.6 miles / 4 hours

HOME ADVANTAGE

For a walk which visits quiet hills and explores post-industrial dereliction, Eryri ’s Moelwyns are second to none.

Moments enjoyed, lessons learned, handy advice, weird stuff that happened: welcome to the little bits and pieces that don’t make big stories, but do make all the difference.
