Twll Mawr

I've posted a short video on You Tube which shows the approach to Twll Mawr via the twin tunnels.

It's not a great vid but worth a look if you don't know the way...

Distinctly useful! Myself and several others spent hours trying to find the way in on the day we did Desolation.

I've met quite a few who have wasted a few hours trying to find the entrance, some even resort to some creative abseiling having not found the bolt and thread at the top of Supermassive Black Hole!

It must help having a dog to show you the way!

We were damn close to abseiling in. Just happened to have 'one more look' and stumbled upon the correct path. Good times.

Thanks for the video. Used it to find our way in at the weekend and it made life a lot easier than it would have been. Thanks.

Glad it was useful & hope you get back on 'The Desolation of Smaug' to finish it off...

Very useful. Finally reckon I can fin my way in now: Thanks!
When the original Paul Williams Llanberis guide came out we went in to try the big VS described (Sterling Silver?) and ended up scrambling in... Not recommended (but very memorable) which pretty much sums up the route and the day.

On a slightly unrelated topic, I just read somewhere the bridge/floating railway at the end of Snakes and Ladders has snapped? Does anyone know anything about this? Hope no one fell to their doom!
