Difficulty:: Strenuous
Distance:: 13.7km / 8.5mi
Ascent:: 365.8m / 1200ft

This is a slightly shorter walk as the NWPW goes to Llanberis and at 11.6 miles and 2000 feet of climb possibly too much . So cutting it short to finish at the community pub in Waunfawr.

Its a “good’’ Hill walking day , passing old quarry workings and following the river from Penygroes.
