Foel Figenau from western slopes Foel Figenau is a gorgeous little hill which peeks temptingly above the Penllyn forest. I can see it from my house 20 miles away. It's quite a slog to get to however. As well as the obvious reward of bagging a splendid summit, there are also the endless bilberries which grow in profusion near the forest track below - and which we (ahem, my wife) makes into what we call Figenau Pie. Hot, and with ice cream - to die for.

Forest stream Running low on liquid refreshments on a hot day, I came within sight of this tumbling stream which has its source on the col between Foel Figenau and Mynydd Carnedd Hywel.As expected, the water was ice cold and pure, with a clear taste which neither tap or bottled water can start to compete with.
