Aran Ridge Walk (Eryri)

Tuesday 29th March 2022
My final walk from this year's trip to Snowdonia. I drove across the National Park to a small but free car park in Llanuwchllyn, just outside of Bala. From there, I could pursue the ridge walk towards the summit of Aran Fawddwy. One I've been coveting since first seeing it in May 2019.

Great video and walk Olly, keep it up mate :)

Thank you, for watching and for your comment.

Great video! You mention the Dysynni Valley, its where I live. You are correct in saying how peaceful it is. Live just a couple of miles from Bird Rock, I can see it from my garden, its heavenly!

[@WalksWithOlly]

Sounds beautiful indeed! I remember a group of teenagers (possibly Duke of Edinburgh) passing ahead of us but that was as busy as it got. Thank you for watching. I'm hoping to return to North Wales soon.

[@NorwayHikesTrails]

Nice video. Wishing you a wonderful upcoming week 👍

[@WalksWithOlly]

Thank you very much! Hope you have a good week also.

Olly, one of those mornings in the mist when you know you are going to climb above it into the sunlight and beautiful views☀👍 I think that boardwalk was of some use even in that state😊 The rocky route is always better and cool to have no one else there except the 🐑 A stunning panorama from the trig point👍 and the views at the lough back up to the tops was really cool👍 The valleys should definitely be appreciated as well as the tops. A cool walk and well done to the knee for managing😊👍

[@WalksWithOlly]

Hi Gerry, Thanks very much for watching. I imagine you might be used to similar scenes, where as I have to drive a few hours to get near such mountains. I'd love to one day camp in a place like this. Hope you have a good week. Thanks again and all the best.

[@GETtwoIT]

Great vid as always! We need to get ourselves over to Wales for some hiking soon!

[@WalksWithOlly]

Thank you for watching! I hope you get over to Wales soon. Always worth it in any weather. All the best and have a great weekend.

Nice video! Lovely views 2:20 'I'm not too sure about that route .... ' I've had that feeling plenty enough times At least it's better to be walking on grass, rather than rocks

[@WalksWithOlly]

Thank you for watching and for your comment!

[@edouardosp-j9641]

Most enjoyable video Olly, well done, it's almost like being there without the hard slog. 👍

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Hoping to do this walk in a months time as we are heading that way for a few days camping...great video...[ New sub ]

[@WalksWithOlly]

Glad to hear you're venturing out that way, it's well worth exploring. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend.

Good to be back in the area then Olly. It looked a fine start - misty and magical. It soon burned off as you said. Sorry to hear of the knee. You have to address that now Olly and devise exercises around the anterior cruciate or wherever it is. Make it your mission to have strong tendons and muscle groups. It's about specific targeting. I've been doing it and getting stronger. Well, a friendly farmer would be a fine thing. Meanwhile them were great views as was the valley. Yeah love them valleys. Last thought - you didn't see anyone. Lovely. All the best. Mark

[@WalksWithOlly]

Hi Mark, You are absolutely right about addressing the knee pain and addressing those that surround and support it. I'd do well to heed this advice, even though I've had no such trouble in the months since. Glad you enjoyed my experiences of this day. I still cannot believe I saw not one other walker! Again, I hope you have a good weekend. Stay well. All the best and thank you again.

[@WyeExplorer]

@@WalksWithOlly Oh totally Olly as we get older mate. It only takes the next long distance trail to bring it back into focus. Yeah, I always enjoy your walks Olly. I will stay well. Peace.

I walked the Aran Ridge from Dinas Mawyddwy. Beautiful mountain Aran Fawddwy is stunning Aran Benllyn is lovely.

[@WalksWithOlly]

Thank you for watching. It is an incredible area. Glad you've been able to experience it.

[@MartinPopeFilmmaker]

Great walk Olly. It is a shame that this part of Snowdonia gets neglected in favour of the higher peaks. We stayed near to Dolgellau a few years back & like a lot of other visitors we also missed out on this lovely range of mountains. I think we will have to try this walk if we go back to that area. Loved the temperature inversion at the start of the video. 🙂🙂

[@WalksWithOlly]

Hi Martin, Indeed, you could approach these mountains from Dolgellau - I didn't realise how close that was at the time. I believe that some of the ridge path is also signposted from that direction... Or at least from a few photos I've seen. Hope you have a good weekend and thanks for watching.
