Description

A day walk with Dave Brown and doggo Nanw. Ascended North Ridge, then bypassed the Towers for the dog, and found a new route to the top of Nor Nor Gully.
Then went up the scree slope left of Bristly Ridge, and traversed Glyder Fawr and Glyder Fach. Made a point of getting to the summits of Y Glyderau, because I so often just walk past them!

Area : Glyderau

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.
