Overview

 We head along a flat mine track for 3 km and then climb off path / indistinct tracks up to Moel Dyrnogydd (524m). On a clear day we have good views of Snowdon. Our route takes us down to a small lake where we have lunch before heading up on a good path to Iwerddon (583m) where we have great views of Allt-fawr, a future destination. We back track along the ridge before taking a circular route back to the cars.

This walk is not particularly long, however as a large section is off trail and some sections are fairly steep we have graded it as strenuous but at an easy pace. Boots, gaiters and hiking poles are advised.

Car parking has been changed to allow more space in this good weather when places can fill up fast.

The walk will not take place in bad weather so please book your place on the walk in advance. Numbers will be limited to 12 excluding the walk leaders.
