Melfyn Parry bagged Lliwedd Bach on June 15th, 2022 [from/via/route] Start point for the walk was the lay-by near Caffi Gwynant. Took Watkyn Path up to SH622516, then crossed bridge above waterfalls to continue on a path along edge of woods which eventually comes to a disused mine at SH634530. Route then indistinct but steep to gain the ridge. Path was more obvious from this point, following ridge to ascend Lliwedd Bach, continuing along to ascend Lliwedd's East & West peaks before descending back to car park down the Watkyn Path. [with] U3A [weather] Great day, mostly comfortable temperatures, cool on summits. No rain until the final descent when slight shower. - Tough ascent but great views
