    This is the final ascent to Cadair Idris if you're approaching from the west (or the descent on your way back). The path is quite rocky, so watch your footing. Whether on your way up or down, be sure to take a well-deserved break!

      A wonderful place with sensational views both north and south - it isn't always in the misty murk up there!
