.Hello, hope you are all keeping well and out on the hills, yesterday we went to tackle Cadair Idris. Setting off early from home we were off and walking by 8.30am. The weather was quite nice at low level but much cooler higher up.
Before I go a few pics from last weeks 10 miler through the lovely Shropshire countryside near Much Wenlock, the cornfields were beautiful. Take care and happy walking
Near to the car park was a useful map that showed us the task ahead The lower walk was through a wooded area. The lower reaches are a bit of a trudge but the scenery opens up and there are a few waterfalls We soon got our first view of Penygadair, the summit of Cadair Idris There were a few people around and we got a group shot thanks to one as we crested the summit of Craig Cwm Amarch at 791 metres The summit was ahead of us but the mist was dropping The last steep scree climb to the top We reached the summit of Cadair Idris, 893m,at about 11.15am and again got a group shot On the summit was a well made hut or bothy where we had a break It was soon time to move on along the rim We reached the summit of Mynydd Moel, 863 metres at about 12.45pm It was now all downhill and time to get some shots back to where we had walked It was a great day and we all enjoyed our first time there, except Alan, an experienced mountain goat Before I go a few pics from last weeks 10 miler through the lovely Shropshire countryside near Much Wenlock, the cornfields were beautiful. Take care and happy walking
