Llynnau Mymbyr - Added to Lakes and Reservoirs in Wales

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Llynnau Mymbyr - Capel Curig - Wales UK

Llynnau Mymbyr are two lakes located in Dyffryn Mymbyr, a valley running from the village of Capel Curig to the Pen-y-Gwryd hotel in Snowdonia, north-west Wales. The A4086 runs along their northern banks. Strictly speaking this is one lake, originally called Llyn Mymbyr, with a maximum depth of 30 feet.

A popular ‘Wild Swimming’ spot, this is a river pool not to be missed. It’s big enough to swim laps, deep enough to dive down to the depths and clear enough to see fish nibble at your toes.
The lake is truly beautiful. Its relatively shallow depths result in frequent changes in temperature, meaning it will be icy cold in winter, fresh after wind or rain, and like a warm bath in summer sunshine.
Beware of the power of the wind in this valley. The distance across the lake may look short but the chop can be big and zap your energy on a crossing.

TOAL is close to lay-by and road so take all precautions to be compliant and fly responsibly
