A circular walk from the village of
Croesor not far from Portmadoc, the peaks climbed today were Cnicht 2260ft,
Cnicht North Top 2251ft, Moel-yr hydd 2126ft, Moelwyn Mawr North Ridge Top
2119ft, Moelwyn Mawr 2526ft, Craigysgafn 2260ft and Moelwyn Bach 2329ft. - The
guidebook stated 9.5 miles but I clocked up 11.5 miles on my GPS, I tend to believe the GPS as it felt like 11.5 miles. The altimeter seemed incredibly
accurate, on Cnicht it registered correctly to within 3 feet. - The weather
was sunny with frequent showers of rain, hail and snow. A superb walk with many
ruined quarry buildings to explore |
