Overview

Total ascent approx. 1400ft /420m with some steep sections . Predominately on paths

The hike through the town out of Bethesda (225m) is fairly steep. Our first ‘top’ is Moel Faban (409m) which on a good day gives excellent 360 views over to Anglesey and the Carneddau range. We will continue on an Easterly direction climbing Llefn (443m) Gyrn (542m) and Moel Wnion (580m). From here we follow a path (small section off trail) to meet up with the contour path and head clockwise back to the start.
