Quite some walk that - I did a similar one once but not a loop, just a traverse - you haven't included Snowdon in your 'hills climbed' section at the top of your report! They're great hills though aren't they... :D

Polly, Welsh is a helluva lot easier than Gaelic - once you learn a very few rules of pronunciation, it's dead easy honest :D

I did Moel Eilio from the campsite in Llanberis via Foel Goch albeit a much shorter round than yours It makes for a great afternoon out with excellent views all round.
