Overview

From Taicynhaeaf bus stop in the Mawddach valley (SH 690192)where we arrive about 1113 AM the steepish tarmac lane leads up through the village & wooded areas alongside the Afon Cwm Mynach then a right turn ascends up to eventually reach the West end of the New Precipice walk at Foel Ispri Uchaf. A flat very scenic stretch with Cadair Idris opposite & the Mawddach valley below is followed by a descent through woodland which steepens somewhat just after Llyn Tan y graig reservoir. Llanelltyd village is reached before the route crosses the A470 & across the Afon Mawddach using the old stone bridge. Then lanes & paths ascend to above Dolgellau & a final descent on minor roads brings one into Dolgellau. Goodies can be taken in TH Roberts or other cafes here before the bus leaves.
