Beautiful day out in the vastly underated Berwyns including the breathtaking beauty of Pistyll Rhaeadr Falls and the literally breathtaking yomp up to Moel Sych.

Overlooked, deemed boring and as I said, much underrated. They are nice and close so a couple of days should see you cover all the Hewitts and the views on a day like last sunday are just stunning! Hope you make it over! :D
