One of the Welsh 3'000ers.....?
by Fergalh  15 Nov 2020
An easy rock strewn walk from Glyder Fach leads you to Castle y Gwent. Subject to numerous arguments as to whether there are 16 or 17 Welsh 3,000ers. This is an easy climb in essence. In my view if it is good enough for mountainviews.ie that is good enough for me ! Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B3662/comment/21373/
