This hike is about 14km (8.5 miles) with approximately 850m of ascent. While nothing technical, there are several steep ascents and descents. Terrain is a mix of upland tracks and rocky open access land.

Join OutdoorLads for an autumn mountain walk in the East of Eryri, exploring some of the region's less visited peaks

Points of interest on the route:

Afon Tryweryn: As we start our walk we'll cross this impressive river, popular with white water rafters, before it flows into Llyn Celyn, which we'll see as we reach higher ground. The llyn is a man made reservoir, and though impressive, its construction was controversial at the time of building, as it required the forced removal of local villagers so their homes could be flooded.

Arenig Fawr : At 854m this is our first and highest summit of the day. Being one of Eryri's more central peaks, the summit offers some of the park's best panoramas. The summit also has a memorial to the victims of a plane crash from World War 2, the wreckage of which can still be found on the hillside.

Moel Llyfnant: At 751m, our second and seldom visited hill, will take us off-piste, as we work our way through the heather to reach the summit. From the top we'll get great views back to Arenig Fawr and also views over to the Rhinogydd Range and coast.

Other Information:

Dog Suitability:

Dogs are always welcome on my walks, though their behaviour and safety is their owners responsibility. This includes cleaning up after them, controlling their behaviour around other animals or people, and assisting them over any stiles or streams we may cross.
