One of the finest ridge walks in Wales, often quieter than most other mountain ranges in Eryri (Snowdonia). This route covers the full traverse including the scramble on Mynydd Drws-y-Coed. Navigation off Mynydd Graig Goch can be tricky in fog, trust the GPX here to find the descent towards Llyn Cwm Dulyn and Nebo. A stunning day out.
Welsh 3000s (Precision Traverse)
Jacob @ Mountain Craft · reviewed 9 months ago
The definitive Welsh 3000s traverse. This verified route follows the classic line starting at Pen y Pass, tackling the famous Crib Goch ridge first, crossing the rocky Glyderau, and finishing on the remote slopes of the Carneddau above Aber Falls. It’s a massive 50km endurance challenge covering 14 summits. While we often use a Bethesda finish on our guided events for logistics, this GPX represents the 'Gold Standard' traditional route. A true test of mountain fitness.

Pleasant forest walk. Looked like there were a few places for a dip in better weather. Worth doing if you are passing and have an hour or two to spare.
