ARS conquers Arenig Fawr

The long ARS (Audlem Ramblers Society) walk last Saturday, 9th July, was an ascent of Arenig Fawr in North Wales.

This, we are told, was a satisfying mountain to climb with only a few fairly short rocky bits near the top. On the summit is a memorial to six American aircrew who died when their Flying Fortress bomber crashed into the mountain in 1943.

The ARS team are shown here after what some found a pretty tough ascent!

It is situated north west of Bala by Llyn Celyn just off the A4212. From the summit, with good weather conditions, there's views of notable Welsh mountain ranges: the Rhinogs in the west, Snowdon to the northwest, Clwydian Hills in the northeast, east to the Berwyns, south east to the Arans, and southward to Cadair Idris.
