Saturday 3rd December - Tryfan and Glyder Horseshoe

Forget the Christmas shopping, don't worry about the weather, just get out your wet and warm weather gear and join us for the Tryfan and Glyder horseshoe on SATURDAY 3rd DECEMBER.

We will meet at the layby nearest to the Milestone Buttress next to Lake Ogwen (Outdoor Leisure 17, GR 662603 on the A5(T) at 10.00am and will take the "traditional" scrambling route up Tryfan. We will stop on the top for lunch (weather permitting), and take 2 minutes silence there to remember our friend Bill Malloy. From there we drop down into the Bwlch Tryfan saddle, and up the Bristly Ridge scramble to the Glyder Plateau. After passing the Glyders and Cantilever (for a photo), we will decide whether we have time to include Y Garn or descend via the Devil's Kitchen to Cwm Idwal. the distance is probably only 6 or 7 miles, but plenty of scrambling and exposed rock. Definitely not doggable (unless your dog will fit in your rucksack) i'm afraid,

Hope to see you there. Please let me know if you can come.
