Had another good day out on Cadair idris on the 2nd of January... couldn't quite make it out on the 1st! My Dad & cousin Deri for company.

The path up from Minffordd is a classic, winding steeply up through the trees until you reach a fork in the path. Right is Mynydd Moel, our decent for the day, & left is on up towards llyn y cau.

It was quite chilly on the ridge. The wind was gusting around 25-35mph & we had a few hail showers... but nothing as exciting as snow

There were quite a few people out, as you'd expect on around new year, but we didn't share the shelter of the hut at the top with more than a few at a time... yes we did have a leisurely lunch... after a spot of catalogue posing at the trig point!

It was nice to get out after the Christmas binge eating & drinking (not too much of the drinking obviously!) A lovely walk off the plateau with some amazing clouds, wish I had a better camera.
