The Glyderau (a Welsh plural form, also known in English as the Glyders) are a mountain group in Snowdonia, North Wales. The name derives from the highest peaks in the range, Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach. According to Sir Ifor Williams, the word "Glyder" derives from the Welsh word "Cludair", meaning a heap of stones.
A walk with Reg and Nanw. No summits in this tour of the Glyderau due to the forecast high winds. Route was along Tryfan's Heather Terrace (finding the Tryfan Cross along the way) to Bwlch Tryfan, then across the lower screes of Glyder Fach to pick up Y Gribin via a lovely hidden llyn.
