Here is a map of the hike and wild camp I planned in North West Carneddau.

However, it quickly became clear that Sundays weather was going to be horrid. saturdays weather looked really good so it was a shame to miss out, especially when it was going to be Mal's first wild camping trip.
So I planned the following escape route to Dulyn Bothy just in case.

Keeping a close eye on the weather, by Friday I had decided that the winds would be so high on the Sunday that walking up in the mountains would be a bad idea.
The following are the routes we did. We parked as close to the Bothy as we could get, walked a 12.5 mile loop taking in the Bwlch Eryl Farchog ridge (SH 694 633), stayed at the bothy and had only a 3.5 mile walk back to the car.
This turned out to be a good move, all the little streams were raging torrent and the foot bridge (SH 724 674) we needed to cross was submerged and only just crossable.
