Central Arenigs

Walk Summary
Originally planned as two separate walks on two separate short winter days.
In spite of the late start was able to take advantage of the long summer days and amalgamate the two walks in to one.
Hard day for first walk of the trip but guess I am retaining my hill legs due to the regular trips I am managing this year.
Turned out to be a 6 Nuttall day which will be the most Nuttalls I will manage in a single day before completion of the list later this year.
Fairly straight forward route but two things I would do differently.

• During ascent of Moel Llyfnant make sure you keep to the left rather than heading for numerous false summits. I managed this most of the time but was seduced on the very last one.
• On descent from Moel llyfnant stay with fence down Llechwydd Rudd and north of plantation to give yourself the chance to bag the sub-Dewey Moel y Slates.

Hendre-blaen-Lliw was under reconstruction so I ended up walking round the back hopefully signposting will be improved to confirm path goes in front of building
