Cader Idris is one of the three most popular mountains in Snowdonia. It lies near the town of Dolgellau in the south of the National Park and reaches a height 893m. There are several routes to the top but today we choose the Pony Path, starting from the Ty Nant carpark above Dolgellau. Conditions permitting, we should be rewarded during our ascent with stunning views, looking out to the coast and over neighbouring mountains. Our walk initially takes us through a small mixed woodland of birch, hazel and sycamore, before we start climbing with the impressive cliffs of Cyfrwy above us to our left. The path follows a series of zig-zags until eventually we see ahead of us the summit, Penygadair, with its outline of frost-chiselled boulders. Continuing through the bleak, terrain of frost shattered rock, we soon overlook Llyn y Gadair, completing the ascent by following the ridge and undertaking an easy scramble. Having had lunch on the summit, we descend by retracing our steps on the Pony Path back to the start.

(Note change of route from that originally published.) This walk is in an area not often visited by the Meirionnydd Ramblers, somewhat south of our usual patch. We start from Dylife on the mountain road between Machynlleth and Llanidloes. Once a thriving lead-mining community, little remains now of the village, just a few houses, a small cemetery and the spoil from the mine. Leaving the village, we head north and soon pick up a steep, zig-zag path which we follow down into the deep gorge of the Afon Twymyn. The footpath continues along the valley floor close to the river, with the steep cliffs of Creigiau Pennant towering above. After passing Cilcwm-fawr farm we cross the river and turn back to ascend gently through pleasant green pastures, looking across to the crags and waterfalls on the opposite side of the valley. Reaching the Dylife road, we cross over and head up to Glyndwr’s Way which we follow until we meet a track which takes us back down to the start.

Foel Senigl is the nearest significant summit to Harlech, 311 metres/1020 feet high. So inevitably there are some steep climbs in the first part of the walk. We will, though, take these very steadily so the walk will be suitable for any reasonably fit adult or child accompanied by an adult. As the walk progresses through beautiful countryside, wonderful views of the area open up and there is a splendid panorama from the top across Tremadog Bay over the Llyn peninsula, Snowdon, the Dwyryd estuary, Moelwyns and Rhinogau.
