I live in the valley just below Cnicht one of the Moelwynion mountains in Snowdonia, Wales. It has a very distinctive profile when viewed from the west and as a result it is commonly known as the Matterhorn of Wales. I love Cnicht. I watch it’s moods change with the day..black and foreboding in the morning to often bathing in soft sunset glows by the evening. Even though it is not has high as many of it’s bigger, more imposing cousins in Snowdonia, it still feels like being on top of the world when you reach the summit, with views stretching from the Carneddau and Snowdon in the north to Cardigan Bay and the Llyn Peninsula to the west. Today I have been out taking photographs of Cnicht. It is very cold here, but the sun has been playing hide and seek behind black skitting clouds and shards of hail pierce the skies. As I write this now the sky is a pinky grey and Cnicht, a diaphanous shroud cloaked in mist.
