Overview

The start and finish point will be at the train station car park at Rhyd Ddu.

The route then sees us take the steep trail up to Y Garn (Not Y Garn Ogwen), then along the ridge to a short scramble up onto Mynydd Drws Coed. Then along the ridge and around to the Obelisk and back. Once back on the ridge, we will then drop down towards the forest and back to the start point.
