About trip
A route which can be done in ether direction. It covers some of the same ground as Y Garn from Ogwen, hence I will cover it in the reverse direction. This does however have the disadvantage of a slog up Elidir Fawr to begin with. You may want to reverse the route so that you descent this way (the GPX file does cover it in reverse as this is my preferred direction). The ground is straight forward and can be covered in snow relatively safely (just take care along the ridge). There are good views along from Elidir Fawr, both to the Snowdon Range and also down to Marchlyn Mawr the upper lake in the "Electric Mountain" scheme.
