It's over 3,000 m, but I can't tell you its name because the map was left in my rucksack. There's something quite special about an unplanned exploration of a route up an unknown mountain, especially without the rucksack! After retrieving it, I traversed a region not unlike the Rhinogs, with jewels of lakes set in a craggy landscape: lovely, but hard going and I was glad of cake at a refuge. Then a long descent - by just about the worst maintained alpine path ever: steep, grass hiding slippy stones, nettles, badly signed and seemingly endless. A frustrating anti-climax to my exploratory adventure!

My peak today. A great exploratory adventure
