Pen yr Ole Wen Scramble - Cwm Lloer Circular

How hard is the Pen yr Ole Wen Scramble? I share not only video footage of the full route, but my personal experience of how difficult I found the Pen yr Ole Wen scramble with my large dog Ziggy. The video is the full Cwm Lloer Circular route and shows exactly what to expect on this stunning Carneddau loop. My guide gives a POV look at the whole route - including an unofficial path off Carnedd Dafydd - the 4th highest mountain in Wales and England.

For reference I'm an experienced hiker and scrambler, Ziggy is a healthy strong dog, he's 4 years old and is attached to me with a bungee lead due to his over interest in sheep. I only ever take him on scrambles where there's no exposure. You can find lots of hiking tips and great walks in North Wales on my blog https://nearlyuphill.co.uk/
