Swansea Ramblers had a weekend away, staying in Machynlleth and having two walks on the Saturday then two on the Sunday.
The harder walk was originally to be to the summit of Cadair Idris.
We climbed a steep path for about a mile in beautiful sunny weather, although the air was still cold.
As we got to more a more rocky section, the wind became so strong that it would have been dangerous to take a group up any further.
The leader decided the safest thing was to turn around and descend in order to do a low level walk to the north.
We had a lovely walk along a valley next to a stream then ascended a mountain pass with a panorama of the mountains around us.
We returned next to a lake then some of us had refreshments in Dollgellau.
Another great walk with Swansea Ramblers.
Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.
Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.
Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
