Description

October half term 2010. A friend and I camped in Dolgellau for a few days. we parked in the car park to the south of Cadair Idris and took the Minffordd Path over Craig Lwyd, Craig Cwm Amarch up to summit at Penygadair. The weather was mixed with some periods of clear sky but also some strong winds and hail as we walked across Craig Cau. From the summit we followed the ridge around to Mynydd Moel and then descended to the south off the ridge to pick up the path back to the car park.

Area : Cadair Idris

Cadair Idris or Cader Idris is a mountain in Gwynedd, Wales, which lies at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park near the town of Dolgellau. The peak, which is one of the most popular in Wales for walkers and hikers,[1] is composed largely of Ordovician igneous rocks, with classic glacial erosion features such as cwms, moraines, striated rocks, and roches moutonnées.
