Moderate/Strenuous Mountain Walks guide - Biography
My first introduction to mountains was a family holiday to Snowdonia in 1976, I remember spending long summer days by the Black Waterfall near Dolgellau (26 years later I bought a house less than half a mile away from it) as well as ascending Snowdon (I hate to admit by train), even in the summer of ’76 it was cloudy on top!

Description
Walk 6 – Moel Siabod via Daear Ddu Ridge

Level: Moderate/Strenuous.
Terrain: Clear paths sometimes rocky, Forest Tracks, Tarmac & Optional Grade 1 Scrambling
Distance: 6 Miles.
Estimated Time: 4/5 Hours
Description: This is the classic route to the top of Moel Siabod which shows the grandeur of the mountain in all its full glory. It is a route that covers numerous types of terrain unlike the more commonly used & far less interesting slog up from Plas y Brenin. In addition you’ll pass lakes & old quarries that add to the beauty & levels of interest along the way.

‘All paths lead to Rome or in this case the Daear Dhu ridge. I am not a climber despite a friends best attempts to turn me into one, but I do love an easy & airy scramble, the Daear Dhu ridge is in my opinion one of the best Grade 1 scrambles you will find.’
