Overview

Start from free car park in Croesor.

The post code covers the valley, there are two roads into the village, both single track with passing places (take care), and both lead to the cross roads. If you come down the gated road, at the cross roads go straight over and car park is 50mts on right. If you come down the single track road off the A4085 through Tan Lan, at the cross roads turn left and again 50mts on right for the car park.

Toilets available. 

The walk will take us on the road uphill out of the village and up onto the ridge (no exposure) and up the short easy scramble to the summit of Cnicht, before we head to Rhosydd quarry via Llyn yr Adar. The section from the lake to the quarry can be boggy so gaiters and waterproof boots would be ideal. For those that wish, there are several lakes along the route and a break will be held at one so a wild swim will be available. There will be a chance to look inside the adit at the disused Croesor quarry, about 500mts easy walk in but head torches will be required.

The pace will be that of the slowest person, plenty of stops for taking on food and drinks.
