Cadair Idris 20/6/09
Hightown Hikers - 9
This is the base of the steps, the start of the climb.
Long time since I climbed Cadair Idris or 'Cader' as it's often called.
Parked up in the car park.
Map OS Outdoor Leisure 23 GR732115.
Started off fine, then a light drizzle then off and on for most of the day. Low cloud cover which meant poor visibility on top.

Lovely
views of water cascading down through the lush woodland.

Tough 'stepping-up' to Cwm Cau but the lake looks lovely.
On to the top with the weather worsening - very little opportunity to take photos.
Here's me at the top.

After the top - the Bothy.

This was a most welcome retreat! Time for butties and coffee - not much chit-chat, even Neil was quiet.
On to Mynydd Moel and down.
Lovely view towards Cwm Cau with the low cloud as we headed home.

Another great day.
Keep on Hiking!
Tony
