Llyn Eigiau & Llyn Coedty

[Rich]

Had a day off work today, so decided to go up Llyn Eigiau & Llyn Coedty. Walked up the hill, then trekked to to Llyn Eigiau, came back down using the old railway track to Llyn Coedty and finally back down the hill.

it was Raining most of time, but the tracks were grippy in the wide ruts. Got absolutely covered in mud!! Well worth it though ;D

Looks very wet up there - I'm a fair weather cyclist myself.

Isn't the small dam called Coedty and not Cowlyd?

Sorry, i've now modified the post. I was going to go round to Cowlyd but as you can see was too wet, and was getting worse

I've done this one a few times. We used to drive (rather than walk!) up the first hill and park near the bottom dam. The section down from the top dam to the bottom can be a real blast! Have you tried going up to the higher dam (the one at the top of your map)? I did it once in the snow and ice and came down a real steep wild section, which wasn't a great route! There must be some good routes up there somewhere??

What's going on with the crotch shot ( Ooohh and it's a right dirty crotch )

Don't you know this is a family site ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've walked up there a few times, and it would be a really good trail, one for when the weather improves
