Walk lead by Mark Stanford, 8 miles.
BRYN MAWR, MOEL EILIO, FOEL-GRON & FOEL-GOCH
An old favourite on the roster, at 8 miles the walk offers a shorter stretch with stiff ascents and steep descents throughout with fantastic views, and we get to bag a bona fide Moel: Moel Eilio, which stands at 2382 ft along with smaller cousins on the ridge, Foel-gron and Foel-goch.
We head south west out of Llanberis, quickly climbing before we’ve left the conurbation, following a tarmacked track leading us to Bryn Mawr, the northern ridge of Moel Eilio. After a couple of false summits we’ll make the top where there is an impressive shelter, here we stop for lunch once we’ve got our breath back.
If the sun is out, then what follows is well worth the effort with panoramic views all round as we follow the ridge (requiring a little more effort). The contours drop quickly from Foel-goch leading to the well-made gentle bridleway which will return us to Llanberis with views of the railway and Llanberis path to Snowdon.
