SOLO HIKE ....Mynedd Mawr in Snowdonia, North Wales.

[@MartinG-e7b]

What a fantastic hike Carol...I almost felt like I did it with you 🙌 Your enthusiasm was almost palpable, which is basically how I feel about Mynydd Mawr too...so I'm glad you got to enjoy it 😍 didn't know it had been on your hit list for so long though 🙏 Shame about the mist, but with that wind 💨 not a place to take chances. It was completely in thick cloud the first time I reached the summit...and I did an even quicker about-turn than you, coming almost straight back down 😬 This July though, glorious sunshine, and the 360-degree views from the top...just breathtaking 😍 Seems to me your strength and endurance are just fine Carol 💪for me this is quite a tough, steep climb, both in ascent and descent...and you do these hikes back-to-back, with a camera in one hand and sometimes Mol's lead in the other...that's impressive 👏 Even as an ex-endurance athlete, I know I'd have my work cut out keeping up 🤔 Epic walk and video, thanks for sharing Carol 🤗🤗

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@MartinG-e7b Oh well that's made me feel a little fitter lol hearing you say it's a tough one 😅. I suppose I don't take into account also like you pointed out, I'm doing these long walk each day pretty much....plus I'm knocking on a bit 🤣🤣. I'll definitely do it again and hopefully enjoy the views all the way up 😊

[@MartinG-e7b]

​​@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment😂 you are absolutely in your prime Carol, and I won't entertain any other opinion 😂 Definitely one to do again, it's not too long, compared to some, and the views are stunning (weather permitting) 😍 ... and I hear there's good hospitality in Rhyd Ddu on occasions 😁 🤗🤗

[@petemoring67]

Fantastic Views 👁👁... Good job You've got plenty of PUFF! though ... Maybe do a Roly-Poly all the way back down?? 🤠

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Haha. Yes the views were amazing 😊

@andywright3450 Thanks Andy 😊

[@Rangers-Rfc69]

Lovely video and stunning views. Weird how these mountains always have lots of rocks at the top. Proper adventure girl you are, well done.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Awe thank you 😊

[@clivewright4398]

Amazing place. You must sleep well after a long walk. Mollie is sush a sweet dog, too❤

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

I do sleep well....if Molly isn't keeping me awake with her snoring 😂

[@pageant1fd]

That was excellent and well done you ! How far did Molly carry the stone ? Thanks for sharing.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

She carried it for about another 5 mins and then I had to take it off her and put her lead on till we were a good distance away 😂

[@phillipwilliams5246]

Well done carol Ann.Lovely mountain too do.On a clear day,you will have the best view of Y Wyddfa.Take care.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Yes unfortunately it was pretty misty across that way. Oh well....always next time 😊

[@tazminmoore455]

Great video 😅. Molly and her stones 😂😂. A small metal flask is a very good idea to take with you. I carry one with me and a bigger flask and main lunch in the car. I've never been caught in the mists, but you're right to feel a bit anxious!! I guess if the mist rolls in all you can do is stop and wait for it to pass. Love your purple hat and jacket ❤.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@tazminmoore455 Oh she's getting worse with these stones lol...they are getting bigger on every walk 😂

[@robpowell8648]

@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment Carol it was nothing but amazing . Highlight was molly and her stone 😅 she wouldn't go anywhere till she found it . She definitely got intelligence 👻🎃💀

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Haha I knew she wouldn't disapoint me and not find it 🤣. Wait till you see the next walk lol 😆

[@ervinslens]

Lovely work my friend, trail looks and feels so serene and therapeutic! Gorgeous 🥾

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

It was lovely and very quiet too...just how I like my walks ☺️

[@fhwolthuis]

What an achievement from the both of you 💪🏼😀

Cracking video..lovely scenery...that wind though..oooft.......the gripping saga of mollie and her stone...lol....nice one Carol-Ann......❤️

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@aquaboy68 yes it was quite windy at the top lol. Molly was determined she was going to be reunited with that stone 😂

[@aquaboy68]

@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment haha..she sure was.....she looks such a great companion....❤️

[@RowanofSalem]

Hi carol, wonderful video as usual, it was the Snowdon Marathon on Saturday, a big event every year, from Llanberis, up Pen y Pass, down Gwynant to Beddgelert, up to Rhyd Ddu, to Waunfawr, then up & over to Llanberis, we live opposite Mynydd Mawr in Betws Garmon 😊 we like to view the mountains from the bottom 😂

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@RowanofSalem Ah thank you, to be honest I completely forgot to Google it. Gosh that's some run. What fabulous views you have ❤️

[@michellechapman6961]

Epic, what a great walk and you just make it look so easy. Oh that Molly, be still my beating heart she is just beautiful. Do you use the teddy bear bedding in the caravan, an absolute game changer for the winter. Thank you for sharing Carol. Looking forward to the next one.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

It was quite a walk but well worth it for the views ♥️ In my last caravan I had Teddy Bear bedding on most of the season lol but I've not needed it in the new van...its definitely warmer than my old one. I do love Teddy bedding though...have it on all the beds at home during the winter 😊

[@paulcole4902]

Fantastic video and some fantastic views, they were stunning,and Molly with her stone's pmsl,definitely a character she is,bit like you a one off 😊👍

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Oh she does make me laugh 😃. I swear she'd carry the stones all the way back if I let her 🤣

[@paulcole4902]

​@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment😂👍

[@DavidJarrold-e7j]

Just south of this is another fab walk and a nice climb, Mynydd Drws-y-coed. Remote and fairly straight forward but I probably wouldn’t do it on my own. Then again there’s something very special being up there with nothing to bother you except the wind, the rain, the climb, the rocks…

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@DavidJarrold-e7j Thanks David I'll have a Google of that one 😀

[@webpigjohn4959]

FANTASTIC scenery 👌.. however we have a dilemma.. My 2 basset hounds like listening to Molly speaking but to be honest I don't mind listening to you panting 😂😂 You both have more energy than all 3 of us put together ❤

Hi carol..how many miles was that hike..looked easy to you punishing for me..i will stick to cycling..what is it with molly and stones..like a baby and blanket..or is it your scent that She picks up on..and does not want to let go..cant wait for next one bye for now james & cathy

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

I think I done about 7 miles so not loads but a lot of uphill 🤣. Molly has always liked to collect things on her walks but it used to always just be sticks. Since we went to Scotland she's just developed this fascination with stones lol...thing is she's going for bigger ones on every walk now 😂❤️

[@2Sheds30619]

Another great video of what looked like a beautiful walk. I think all your walking would keep you fit without having to go to the gym. Have this donation to go towards buying a flask.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Oh wow, thank you so much I really appreciate that ☺️ that's so kind of you. That will get me an amazing flask and a little treat for Molly too ❤️

[@mickp3526]

Nice walk. Got a small stainless flask from Tesco ages ago don’t know if they still sell them but it’s perfect for day walks.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@mickp3526 I was actually looking at those yesterday....do they keep the drink hot?

[@mickp3526]

@@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment yes probably six hours goes a bit cooler if you only drink half the flask but pretty good.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

@mickp3526 thanks for that 😀

She'll be needing her own little rucksack soon then to put them in 😂😂😊

You can't separate your dog from its stone lol a well known saying I think 😂😅

@@davej433 haha, well it's a saying now 🤣

[@iforwilliams2509]

Can I let you into a little secret? There is an easier route up Mynydd Mawr😮. Don't tell anyone, but the route from Rhosgadfan area is easier. Cycled up Mynydd Mawr years ago, took me an hour to get up, and 10 minutes to get down.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

That was actually the route I was going to do originally 😊.I like the look of the gentle slope up from Rhosgadfan side ❤️ Not sure I'd be as quick as you though 😂

[@paulcole4902]

If you let Molly take all those stones back with you,you would probably end up with a dry stone wall around your caravan 😅👍

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Haha maybe that's what she's thinking in her mind to protect the awning 🤣
