As we had some fine weather descend on us for the Bank Holiday weekend, I treated myself to a great dose of the fresh air fix. Starting and finishing in Capel Curig I made a clockwise loop of Moel Siabod. I've done this one about 5 times previously so I know what is to be expected, big views and hike a bike!
Some pics and a film to follow...
