Saturday - Cadair Idris

Cadair Idris, the ‘chair’ of the legendary Idris, a giant mythological hero and relative of King Arthur, is an isolated massif, a stone’s throw from the sea.  It stands on guard, with its deep cwms, precipitous buttresses and towering crags, as the most southern high mountain range in Snowdonia.

This dramatic mountain trek passes through Cwm Cau  and Llyn Cau (The Shut-in Valley and Lake), described by many as the one of the finest cwms in all of Wales.  Craig Cwm Amarch (Amarch Valley Rock) is the first summit, followed by the highest point of the Cadair Idris massif, Penygadair (The High Seat), and finally Mynydd Moel (Bare Mountain).

A classic mountain trek of unforgettable views.

Sunday - The Aran Horseshoe

The Aran mountains lie between the towns of Dolgellau and Bala.  A seldom frequented range yet full of stunning views in all directions.

The horseshoe takes in two grassy, yet lofty, summits, Drysgol and Aran Fawddwy (translated means ‘Mawddwy Mountain’).  Aran Fawddwy’s height of 907m makes it just 7 metres, or under 30 feet, short of being a member of the Welsh 3000s!
