Overview

Strenuous linear walk up a well known mountain.  From the car park at Ty Nant the ascent is via the Pony Path to the top at Penygadair where there is a shelter   Superb scenic views all round. The descent is probably down the Minffordd path which has dramatic views down to Llyn Cau & is steeper & more rocky underfoot than the ascent.
