Walk up Cadair Idris

[DaveGSCymro]

Following on from a discussion here the idea of a group walk up and around Cadair Idris has arisen. For those not local there would be the opportunity to camp, thinking sometime in the middle of April, if you're interested reply to this thread.

By the way, I'm not a mountain guide and have never been up there before so the usual rules apply

 

[DaveGSCymro]

Provisional date is Saturday 17th April, obviously flexible on this at the moment. Sunrise is 06:08 so start walking at 07:00.

link to the suggested route.

There is a link to various download files, worth having look in Google Earth


Further details of the walk. Linky

17th is good for me, I'm in.

I'll probably camp at the base on the Friday night.

I might have a go as well. Be happy to get to the lake, or maybe meet you on the way down.
Can you still drive all the way up?

I've never done Cadair from that side...so If Im free that weekend I'll see you all there.

7am start means we should all be down again in time for lunch then ..

I'll keep an eye open for further info

I could be up for this, is it worth bringing the bike? I'm sure we could get a loop in some where
