Description

Sideways rain and gale force wind throughout day 1 up to summits. Wild camp at Lake, then back over the mountain North to car park.
Used Pony path to start / finish walk and navigated scree slops to summit from slope aspect.
This was a very slow going walk as my walking partner was having great deal of trouble on the inclines due to fitness level. Lots of stopping and discussions on whether to continue or not - safety was quite a concern on this walk.

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.
