A Winter Mountain Adventure • Solo Backpacking in Eryri • Moel Siabod Part 1

I set out nervously for this hike, with a horrendous weather forecast making me wonder if I should be going at all. But while it was hard going with such a heavy rucksack in such bad weather, I was very fortunate as the weather cleared as I approached the summit of 872m Moel Siabod, so I had stunning views (while hanging onto the trig point to stop from being blown over haha) and even got my tent up before the hail started up again

I had originally planned to attempt my first ridge by ascending via Daear Ddu, but it would have been too dangerous in this weather, so that’ll wait for another time

Thanks for watching 😊 Much love, Claire 🌿🐻

The part where you decide to leave the confines of your nice dry comfortable car to climb that mountain in horrendous conditions is incredible to say the least. Given the same situation I can see myself stopping somewhere for a hot chocolate while driving back home.
