Up and down from Bethania via the inclines and Llyn. Good views today | Moorponder | 08/07/2022 |
From BF, up incline to Llyn Manod then picked up feint path to twin summits. Super views & not too hot. Descended to other end of lake via wall to then continue to new 2000er in Quarry. With Dan | stig_nest | 08/05/2022 |
7.5 mile walk from Bethania, Blaenau Ffestiniog. Up old quarry incline from town to old quarry ruins then following a path to Llyn Y Manod. We followed the odd sheep track up to Manod Bach. No proper path. Descended same way, then walked along path by lake and onto track diagonally up the side of Manod Mawr eventually heading across to summit. The quarry was unsurprisingly very active (it was a Monday)so we headed back down to the lake then incline following a path past Llyn Du Bach and climbing steeply on not bad terrain to Manod Mawr North Top. This involves a lot of descent/ascent but it completely avoids the working quarry. We retraced our steps back to town. 880m ascent in sunny conditions. Great views all around. Afterwards we drove to Foel Offrwm and the Precipice walk. | DanTrig | 25/04/2022 |
2/4 Dewey day. Parked in the car park at Cae Clyd (SH 708 443). Followed road past cottages, then RoW up to Llyn y Manod. Used small track along the western edge until nearly at its north end, then followed very small track (sometimes tricky to spot) up north ridge to the double cairned summit. Splendid viewpoint on a beautiful day. A round trip of 6km with 310m ascent in just under 2 hours. | silveracorn_alan | 18/04/2022 |
Parked on Manod road 70853 45444, and headed for the track up to Llyn Dwr-oer and then a footpath to Llyn y Manod from where a very faint path may be found to help you up Manod Bach at least part way. One hour forty five for the Two and half miles. | WAYNE ROWLETT | 20/03/2022 |
