We will be walking along the spectacular Nantlle Ridge, one of the classic Snowdonia walks, which is a succession of 6 peaks overlooking the Nantlle Valley from the south.  Each peak is over 600m and affords some fantastic views out towards Anglesey, Caernarfon Bay and the Llyn Peninsula.

The route involves some steep climbs and a bit of scrambling, over a total distance of about 11 miles, so you will need to be reasonably fit for this walk. After reaching our final summit at Garnedd Goch we will double-back a short way before returning via Cwm Dwyfor, along some of the old mine tramways, then through part of Beddgelert Forest, returning to our start point at Rhyd Ddu. This is a long drive for some of our members, so here will be the option to camp nearby for lads who want to make a weekend of it. See below for details. 

The leader will be camping locally for the weekend, see the Camping Option tab below if you want to join him.
