I want to find a good route to the Cadair Idris ridge. My aim was to summit Gau Graig and come straight back.
I followed the most direct route from home to the summit. The first mile was simple through the command land. As soon as I came out of the woods and followed the wall around the woods it got boggy and finding a “not over the boots” route was hard. After a mile of that I got to higher ground and then started to climb it was better but still very wet ground.
I choose a slightly different route down to avoid the bog. I think any future trips will miss out on a hard to follow and wet section at Blwch-coch and use the path further down the track.
7.1 miles.
3 hours 28 miles.
