Drosgl from Bethesda, Eryri (Snowdonia)

A beautiful walk in one of the quieter parts of Eryri (Snowdonia). Starting from Bethesda village, the ascent is fairly gradual, reaching a number of small summits (Moel Faban, Llefn, Gyrn) before the final climb up to Drosgl. The route then descends along a ridge before going back to the village. While resting on Gyrn we saw wild horses running across the hills in the distance, which was very cool, and on a clear day you can also see the Menai Strait to the north.
