A great little circuit of tops that can be approached from a couple of ways, but we decided to assend through Beddgelert Forrest for a bit of variety.

The paths however were only partly marked and we lost our way initiall in the forrest, with paths over grown with Roadies and Spruce, before finding a section that appeared to be almost brand new markers. The terrain was boggy when we exited the woodland so we headed straight up, we later found the path following the plantainion wall upto Princess Quarry.
The rest of the route was very straight forward with great natural and industrial scenery.

Great view back from Moel Hebog, but its a relentless steep grass climb!

Moel Hebog - Im too old (or fat) for this ascent s**t!

Just drop off the north eastern ridge back to the valley. Looks like it would be a great ascent route too.
