Llyn y Caseg Fraith
One of my favorite wild camping spots, with the dawn view of Tryfan being one of the highlights. Bit boggy, but oh, the view!!

A498 – Snowdonia Dark Sky Spot
This is a great location for some night photography, especially as it involves no walking.

Llyn y Cwn
Located below the steep slopes of Glyder Fawr, this is an idyllic wild camping spot or just a convenient lunch stop on a traverse of the Glyderau. It’s also quite busy!
Llyn Llydaw
Llyn Llydaw is a major landmark on any walk up Snowdon from Pen-y-Pass. Crossed by a causeway by the Miner’s Track at the far end, and dominating the Cwm from the Snowdon Horseshoe that skirts above. The beach at the near end (As you ascend!) is often used to cool off feet before the final

Llyn Brenig
Llyn Brenig is a man-made lake in the Hiraethog area of North Wales. There’s a cafe and visitor centre here and it’s a popular centre for easy mountain biking, fishing and sailing.
Cwm Idwal and Llyn Idwal
Cwm Idwal and Llyn Idwal is one of the more easily reached landmarks in Snowdonia, and despite this, it can still feel wild. Just ensure that you make it there early or in the evening. It’s also a great dark sky location

Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve are a pair of boulders on the Iconic Snowdonian mountain of Tryfan. It’s usual for those who wish the ‘freedom of Tryfan’ to leap from one to the other. It’s a good bet, if you can climb onto them that you’ll probably be ok (but at your own risk!!) Anyone stupid enough
Cwm Bochlwyd and Llyn Bochlwyd
Cwm Bochlwyd is a magnificent cwm, nestling beneath the cliffs of Glyder Fach and the iconic Tryfan. Magical place!

The Cantilever
The Cantilever is a precariously positioned rock on Glyder Fach. People usually pose on the top to prove that they’ve been to Snowdonia. Larger groups will try to topple it over, which always ends in failure (so far!!) Cantilever, Cantliver. This induces jumpy fever..
Rhinogydd Moel Ysgyfarnogod Wild Camp
The Rhinogydd are tough, notoriously so. In fact, while I’ve walked these hills countless times, I was yet to walk them all in one trip. So the weekend was set, and typically heavy and prolonged rain was forecast. Being the hardy souls that we are at Mud and Routes, we decided that the weekend was

Nantlle Ridge Wild Camp
Wild camped between Y Garn and Drws y Coed last night. Turned out to be a corker. The Route I’ve camped out on virtually all the hills around North Snowdonia, but never had I managed a night out amongst the Eifionydd hills. I’d failed a few years back when I reached Garnedd Goch with the

Moelwynion Wild Camp – Llynnoedd Cwn
It’s been summer followed by autumn this weekend, and this trip got the best of both. I’d walked all of the route, bar the initial approach before, but I was yet to string the entire range into one trip. The only peaks that I missed out were Duman, Allt Fawr and Moel Meirch which would

Weekend on the Glyderau – Llyn Cwn Wild Camp
Yet another glorious weekend walk had by all and just hoping it won’t be the last. Decided that over Elidir from Dinorwig was the most appealing option as I had to work around the logistics of getting to Capel Curig by lunchtime on the Saturday. I’m only posting some images, but the wild camping spot

Llyn Edno Tarp
This was a trip report that i posted on Walk Eryri Blog in 2009, so it’s being reposted on here along with some of the posts, along with upgraded images. The forecast for the weekend appeared benign. So the decision to bivvy in the Moelwynion was taken. May as well take the tarp, in the
Siabod and Carnedd y Cribau Wild Camp
Had an interesting weekend wild camping over Moel Siabod, testing out some new gear and mainly some new grub, all in preparation for a Knoydart trip in a few months’ time. It was all good, camping in the forest on the way up on Friday and having a bit of a play with a Kelly

Bivvy on Ysgafell Wen
This fine weather means that it’s much more pleasant to wild camp, and especially to bivvy. Went bivvying on the weekend of the summer solstice on the summit of Ysgafell Wen. It wasn’t the best pitch, in fact it was far from flat, but the view was just incredible. Here’s some images: Night on Ysgafell
