#cadairidris — Public Fediverse posts

A quick bit of #Defaidodon action for you this evening. A couple of sheep give scale to Big Scenery.

Tyrrau Mawr and Craig-y-Llyn, two of the satellite peaks of Cader Idris, both sporting fine Bronze Age cairns, rising above Llyn Cyri. From a wonderful walk from Abermaw (Barmouth) this time last year.

Absolutely stunning day on Cadair Idris today. The last two times I've come partway up in November rain, gales and zero visibility. Today was an amazing contrast, with spectacular views of Yr Wyddfa and the Eryri ranges, as well as the coast at Abermaw, Pumlumon and Shropshire.

Here's a view of Llyn Cau that most people don't see, with Craig Cwm Amarch rising sheer above. Downhill from the lake an Iron Age treasure hoard was found.

Not the easiest of conditions for my last day on the #hills of #NorthWales today. 40mph gusts and drizzly rain made hard work of an ascent of Gau Graig along its rugged northeastern ridge. #Dolgellau appeared to be getting better weather far below. I'm obviously getting old as I had the sense to abandon hopes of Mynydd Moel and Penygadair.

Extensive views from Craig y Castell, a prominent #Marilyn hill between #CadairIdris and the #Mawddach.

Looking north towards #YRhinogydd, NE to #Arenig, east to #YArannau, and the southern view is blocked by the massive cliffs of Cadair Idris itself. Some fine #BronzeAge cairns on the saddle below.

Is #HillfortsWednesday as thing here?

Here's Foel Faner, a stone-ramparted #hillfort above #Dolgellau in North Wales. Terrific views of the mountains (#YRhinogydd, #CadairIdris, #Dyfi Hills, #Arannau) from a commanding position. The rampart is well-preserved.
