Overview

Around 9.5 miles , total ascent about 2150ft/650m .

The hike takes a circular clockwise route. The first section past Llyn Eigiau. Is fairly flat before gently climbing to a large disused quarry. From here we make our way off trail up to Foel Grach (500m of ascent). If it has been wet this could be boggy in sections. The way down is also off trail picking our way down a valley (steep in sections) between Dulyn  and Melynllyn  reservoirs. From Meynllyn Reservoir we will take a ‘jeep’ track back to the car park. 

NOTE ADVANCE BOKING IS REQUIRED FOR THIS WALK
