Book with the leader for the Ramblers’ Moel Ysgyfarnogod and Foel Penolau walk on Sunday, 29 March.
Providing weather conditions are favourable the destination is Moel Ysgyfarnogod, a mountain of 623 metres in the Rhinogydd. An extension to Foel Penolau its neighbour at 614 metres will also be offered to those who choose an additional challenge.
Follow an ancient Bronze Age track around Moel Goedog enjoying fabulous views over the Dwyryd Estuary to Portmeirion, the Llŷn Peninsula and the mountains of Eryri. The track continues to Bryn Cader Faner, but turn off to follow the path that starts to ascend to Llyn Eiddew for a coffee break before rising more steeply up onto an old manganese track contouring around the base of Moel Ysgyfarnogod.
Follow this track a short distance then head off and climb steeply to the summit. From here there are amazing 360 degree views of north Wales.
Descend towards Foel Penolau and seek a sheltered spot for lunch.
Those who wish to climb Foel Penolau can do so while others take a rest after lunch.
Retrace your steps to Llyn Eiddew and onto the Ardudwy Way to complete the walk by contouring around the east and south sides of Moel Goedog.
This route back to your cars gives you good views of the dark austere, Rhinog Fawr and Llyn Cwm Bychan, providing a contrast to the coastal views on the morning walk to the mountains.
Booking essential, numbers limited to 12. Contact leader.
