Moel Siabod is one of those mountains so often ignored, being less than the magic 914mtrs or 3000ft, and, from the roads nearby, of fairly featureless appearance, but, believe me, it is a Snowdonia walk for the connoisseur of mountain walking. A GPS File is available for download (see walk description).
