Peris Horseshoe Variation

17th April was forecast to be yet another good day weatherwise and so it turned out. It was a bonus hill day for me because I was meant to be travelling overseas with work but the volcanic ash cloud put paid to that. So, I headed down to Wales to venture round the Peris Horseshoe route taking in Glyder Fach, Foel Goch and Moel Elio too (roughly 34km and 3,200m of ascent). Here are some photos taken on a camera phone:
