Overview

From YI the walk will commence up a steep hill.The path on the first half of the hill is fairly stable but there are some treacherous smooth slabs which can be very slippery , especially when wet .Care to be taken at this point.The second half of the climb is over uneven stones and water courses.There are 3 gates to negotiate during this part of the walk . No stiles.

On reaching the top of the climb , the route levels out and is a pleasant walk over a quiet tarred road with superb views over the Eyri mountain range. A coffee/tea break will take part at this point.

Route continues for some miles on good pathways and pleasant views. Having walked through Pen Y Geulan farmyard , we will follow a track through open farmland towards Padog. A lunch stop will be taken on the Conwy River bank at Padog

Having rejoined the intended route we will follow a good route through open farmland towards the finish point at YI.
