Hi

We are keen walkers and have been up Snowdon a few times and would like to camp somewhere near Cadair Idris as we would like to venture up there sometime but we don't know a lot about the area, a friend of ours has just completed the Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge and did the Cadair Idris mountain the day after completing Snowdon but she is not sure which path they went up as they just followed their group leader so which would be the easiest way as we have to take our dog who is a small Jack Russell and she loves walking but I don't want her to do too much because if it gets hot (wishfull thinking) she suffers really badly so would rather take the easy route if there is one so any ideas where to camp and where to start - any advice please.

Thanks

This may not be of much use as I dont know any road names, however, I have done Cadair Idris and the starting point was from a small car park....After that its a gentle (ish) walk towards the lake that sits in its 'horseshoe shape. I went to the left of the horseshoe then and got to the trig point and shelter after a very steady incline,

Perhaps a google map search may show the carpark at its base.

Best way to describe i its location I suppose would be imagine a clock face the trig point is at 12 O clock then the car park is at 20 too or half past (thats as clear as mud I guess)

Hope this helps a bit anyway...At least it got rid of the Blue face lol
