Nantlle Ridge

4/5/2014

0 Comments

 
Nantlle ridge walk is another of our walks away from the tourists, as we parked at Rhyd-Ddu station car park most of the walks headed of to snowdon on the Rhyd-Ddu path, we headed for the steep accent  Y Garn and Nantlle Ridge  (Y Garn not to be confused with Y Garn of the Glyder mountains ).
a new walk had been built from  Rhyd-Ddu to Beddgelert  the Lon gwyrfai path ,so the start was on this path then the steep accent up to Y Garn with some good views over to the Menai straits and Anglesey, however we did have low cloud at times on the ridge. 
a short grade one scramble to Mynydd Drws-y-coed and the the walk along the ridge to Trum y Ddysgl with some dramatic scenery and then the final part of the ridge to the summit of Mynydd Tal-y-mignedd and the large obelisk on the summit. the return was slightly different with a return to Trum y Ddysgl  and down to what ended the walk through a forest and back onto  Lon gwyrfai path with a total distance of 11.8 km and provided some good dramatic landscape photography and a fantastic mountain hiking
