After 5 months of no walks, finally got back up a (small) mountain in glorious weather today. Foel Goch in the Arenig range is a very modest 2,004 feet, but stands isolated from other ranges giving it an amazing panorama from Yr Wyddfa, Glyderau, Carneddau, Clwydian Hills, Y Berwyn, the Hirnant Hills, Aranau, Cader Idris and Arenig Fawr and Fach.

Quite emotional to be back in the hills, it's such a boost to my mental health. Bonus Bronze Age standing stone and cairn too.

View from the summit of Foel Goch. A small modern marker cairn in the foreground marks the summit. The view looks down over green foothills towards distant mountain ranges; Aranau, Cader Idris and Arenig Fawr, rising to soaring peaks. It is sunny but very windy.
Bronze Age summit cairn Garnedd Fawr. The top of the mound is damaged and is now the meeting point of three post and wire fences. Some stones are piled on top of the cairn, probably moved from with the original configuration. The sky is blue with white clouds.
View of a blue river from a bridge (Pont y Bala). The river runs between green grassy banks. A man is fishing from the riverbank. It's very sunny and quite warm in the Spring sunshine.
