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.
Due to the weather being totally against us we made the decision to walk around Llyn Idwal . This was very wet, in fact it was probably the wettest I have ever seen it with some small tributaries breaking their banks and spilling all over the path. However this was still good enough to explain about navigation in poor weather.
