Got some nice cold and sunny weather on Sunday to bag these three hills and have a look at Wales's biggest waterfall.Apart from some horrendous bogs it's a nice walk.I got some pictures, although the last one of the waterfall is a bit blurry (not sure what went wrong there).

That looked like a really nice wander Andy and some cracking photo's there as well! :D

I am heading to Shropshire for a week in February so might have to explore the Berwyns a bit!

Good report on an area I love. Mostly because it is off the radar for most walkers who pass on by to Snowdonia or just do the Clwydians.
I can look out from my living room window on the Berwyns and watch them transform with the seasons...beautifull.
I still can't get the missus to go up there though. This report might inspire her!
Cheers.
