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.
Co-led group of 10 women on Marchlyn Mawr horseshoe. Some quite experienced, others new to walking and scrambling; all well-equipped. Disparate walking speeds frustrated some who wanted to go faster. Other than that a cohesive, positive group; lots of good feedback on our return.
