MOEL SIABOD 6th August 2022
Colin, Martyn, Mo, Anna and Monique arrived at Pont-Cyfyng, Capel Curig ready for a 10 am start. The weather was fine and sunny as we climbed the track to the quarry and then to Llyn y Foel. From here we started the ascent of the easy scramble but enjoyable Daear Ddu ridge which leads directly to the top of Moel Siabod. Here there were fine views of Snowdon and many other nearby mountains as well as the Irish Sea and Cardigan Bay.
The first part of the descent was easy but the rocks beyond were tedious. Descending a little we got back on to grass before the steeper eroded section eventually led back to our starting point at about 4pm.
A very enjoyable day. The first time we have travelled this far for a day out since the beginning of Covid.
