Walk 2100 - A Circuit of Cadair Idris from Minffordd

This Snowdonia circuit of Cadair Idris includes a bit of everything. On the ascent via the justifiably popular Minffordd Path, a circuit of Llyn Cau is thrown inincluded. There then follows a walk along the Northern ridge from Cyfrwy to Gau Graig. The return includes a section of pathless heather hopping that calls on basic map and compass skills.
