A testing walk, incorporates some sections of my other walks in the area - Sychnant Pass and Pensychnant - Conway Mountain - Penmaenmawr and Druid Circles, well worth the effort for the outstanding views over the surrounding areas - Anglesey and Puffin Island and Beaumaris, Llandudno's Great Orme, Conway's Estuary and surrounding mountains, etc.
