With the first snows of winter fresh on the heather, Guy and I set off from a remote Welsh valley to walk all of the Northern Berwyn hills. We each have fitness targets – Guy to walk 100 2000ft’ers each year, and mine to improve on last years mileage and ascent totals. We both needed to catch up on our totals and the Berwyns offer peaks- and miles-a-plenty.

When, at the end of that day, we descended in the dark after a superb days walking, and undid our frozen-solid bootlaces we knew we’d started on a new quest – to walk all of the 2000ft’ers in Wales. Each of the days below were  long and demanding covering a great deal of ground, much of it rarely explored. By trying to cram in as many tops into a day as possible, we’ve often ended-up with lots of off-path terrain to cover and this has usually proved to be tyring, frustrating and sometimes hilarious!

As our project continues our understanding of the layout of the region has developed, and our appreciation of the character which is uniquely Welsh deepened.

Our hope is to document as full as possible our experiences and each date below leads to a narrative describing the day and a photo album from the actual walk.
