Approx 5 hours of mountain hiking on and off path. 900m of up. Some loose sections.

This is one of the events organised as part of Big Spring Camp 2024.

The ultimate aim is to climb the mountain Elidir Fawr, but the start and end of the walk will be through Dinorwig slate quarry, following former miners paths and inclines.  The route will visit the abandoned barracks, multiple drum houses, engines, blacksmiths, saw mill and passing by countless galleries.

We will be taking our time to explore and take photos.  This walk is for those that love industrial heritage and photography.  

Please note we will be off public footpaths and right of ways for much of this walk.  Though the route has been recced, the quarry is a dangerous place and there will be areas of loose slate and vertical drops.
