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.
Started at the Tea Shack at Llyn Ogwen up through the The devil's Kitchen turned right at Llyn y Cwn up to Y Garn down past Llyn Clyde to the start. Advised three walkers to turn around and get off as they were not dressed for the conditions on the mountain. Some icey patches on route and the clag came in as we descended overall a good day testing my navigation. Wind gusts 54 mph at times.
