About this event
Summiting a trio of Eryri's Moelwynion, this 14km / 8.7 mile circular mountain walk will give us wonderful views of Bae Tremadog (Tremdoc Bay) and a close up look of a slate miners' settlement above Blaenau Ffestiniog.Starting in the village of Croesor we will pick up the Cambrian Way heading north east steadily but steeply gaining height to summit the dagger-like Cnicht (689m). Descending the opposite flank we'll head deeper towards the core of the Moelwynion range before cutting south and east in search of the miner's cottages above the Cwmorthin Quarry.Continuing on the Cambrian Way up through huge mounds of slate and passing the open mine entrances we'll head south and west to steadily ascend again up to Moelwyn Mawr (770m) giving a glorious view out over Bae Tremadog in the west.Dropping down to just under 600m, leaving the Cambrian Way and hopping quickly up to circle and summit the last of our Moelwynion trio, Moelwyn Bach (710m), we shall steadily descend towards the setting sun in the west then the last stretch of road north back to the car park.Well-behaved OutdoorDogs are very welcome. Note: Leads will be required in areas with livestock, and we will be crossing stiles frequently.Are you new to Outdoorlads and considering your first event?
