What would a trip to Wales be without some walking? We loaded up the car and drove through beautiful valleys and mountain roads.
We choose to walk up to lake Idwal, a three mile hike that takes you up to a hanging valley surrounded with peaks on three sides. The sun was out, the Heather in bloom, and there was a tea and cake shop at the trailhead.
Next up we walked around Lake Ogwen where legend has it, the sword Excalibur was thrown to return in to the lady of the lake when king Aurthur was on his deathbed. Only the wind prevented mom from jumping in to find it.
We spent the afternoon walking along stone fences in an attempt to dodge boggy ground and sheep. Safely tucked into our hostel in the town of Bethesda, we watched the slate covered hillsides go from bright sunshine to heavy downpour to bright sunshine again in the span of 10 minutes. The weather does keep you on your toes!
