08/07/24 - Yr Eifl

We can see the pub from here


We selected the best weather day to challenge the mountains. Yr Eifl is a range of three peaks at one end of the Nefyn Bay. Garn For, Garn Ganol (the highest at 1850ft) and the hill fort of Tre'r Ceiri. Town of the Giants.

The walk is not without its minor challenges. Deceptively easy on a low incline track too start, its hands on rocks scrambling to the top of Garn Ganol. 

Pictures can tell the story.

My planned route would have taken us to the pub at Llithfaen. But not with these opening hours;

Tafarn Y Fic a Monday No Go

Instead, we console ourselves with what we could have won.Through binoculars, we can see the stemmed glasses of San Miguel* at the legendary Ty Coch Inn. No one who ever visits will ever forget it. 

We made the walk on the evening - where we can see what we conquered earlier in the day.

A later in the week revisit**, a must, where it will be blogged.
