Having drove down to Becs Dads Caravan in Talybont the Friday night we di this walk on the Saturday. Our 1st mistake was not having change for the car park so we drove to a petrol station to get some only to see when it was light the car park took cards lol. We set off through the woods up the very steep Minffordd path. Tough going from the start but we made it onto open fell plodding on to the tarn Llyn Cau. After a short sandwich break by the water we started to climb again and this time into the bad weather. When on the ridge the cloud dropped and freezing wind picked up all the way to the top. it was so hard and Bec was really struggling. We made it to the top and went for a break in the shelter from the horrendous weather. The way back we retraced our steps as we couldn’t see anything and even though longer was probably safer. Back at the car battered and bec bruised we went back to the caravan had a pint in the last inn and played game shows all night. Brilliant day. And saw TryfScotty 2 Hotty22/01/2022

Poor conditions, gale force winds, bad visibility and very wet. Started off in Dôl Idris Car Park and followed the Minffordd Path (taking the right fork across the Nant Cadair) followed the path which was easy enough to follow, though steep and loose in places to Mynydd Moel, followed the path round to Cadair Idris before rejoining the Minffordd Path, slow going on the descent and not the easiest path to follow (and quite trecherous in the rain due to loose scree) from the summit but eventually found it and followed down to Craig Cwn Amarch and then Craig Lwyd. Steps in the wet were very polished but eventually got back to the car park in one piece.lboutside23/08/2020

Reached the summit at 4pm exactly (1.30pm start) after doing Snowdon via Crib Goch in the morning. Lovely day in the valley but very strong wind up top - could barely stand up on the trig.

50m under trig walked out from the grey cloud into bright sunshine and a massive cloud inversion. Could only see a peak above the cloud to the NW. Magnificent. What with sun rising over the cloud it was perfect. Stayed at the trig for half an hour then went to the bothy and munched some sandwiches. Great views. Only my second cloud inversion.

With Stig Nest. A wet and icky start to the day and almost zero vis by the summit of Craig Cau. But cleared amazingly before we left summit of penygadair. Walk out to myn Moel was therefor breathtaking. Descent back to the Myn path was in places pretty steep and rough. Would hate to go up this way.Laura.W22/06/2016
Parking in the usual car park on the lane to the North then along Pony Path diversion over the Saddle then along to summit, back down via the Fox's Path scree slope (not recommended if wearing flip flops! ) then back to start point. Great circuit not a sole for 4 hours :) Pillar little the worse for wear FB gone, great views on the assent and decent, cloud drifting in above 800m.griefmiester17/06/2016

Pony Path, Star/Finish Ty Nant carpark (SH 697 153) Post Code - LL40 1TL car par is a bit further than what post code sends you to but on correct road so no worries, pay and display Carpark with toilets. Not to hard a path but some harder parts along it the views make it so worthwhile. It was a lovely warm/Hot clear day made it a great hike, Do it views make the hard bits forgettable.jakewelsh04/06/2016
Parked at Ty-Nant before 8 am - plenty of room. Took about to 2 hours to get to the top. Clear and hot weather. Early start a good idea as there were lots of people climbing up as I came down and the car park was full.ajd5830/05/2016

A linear route of Cadair Idris. We climbed up the Minffordd path over Craig Lwyd to the summit of Craig Cwm Amarch. We then followed the ridgeline around to Penygadair and Mynydd Moel. We went down the Pony Track with a diversion to take in Cyfrwy.Ginger Dave16/05/2014
Climbed as part of a linear route from Dolgellau to the Minffordd hotel via the Gau Graig ridge visiting Gau graig, Mynydd Gwerncraig and Myndd Moel. I sheltered in the stone shelter for about 15 minutes, to eat some food before climbing up to the Trig point and then down using the Craig Cau path to Craig Cwm Amarch and then onto the Minffordd path to the Minforrd hotel.. Conditions were thick mist, windy and torrential rain making the descent painfully slow. I will be back sometime to hopefully see something using a different route.Dazingdale08/05/2014

My very first tump I've climbed, but without reaching the actual summit. My Geography teacher did not allow me up the last bit as I did not having walking boots. Only 100 metres or so from the summit, on a second school trip we only got half way up due to mist. I finally reached the summit via 'pony path' with a friend in 1980, and since then have led a rambling group up to the summit via minffordd path in 1983! An iconic mountain to me a flat as pancake terrain Cambridge boy, it was my 'Everest' that got me into the hill walking game! Best route is the minffordd path around the Lyn Cau corrie - fantastic !!pdantic07/09/1980
