7. Moel Siabod, 2nd September, 2014

On a third successive beautiful day, I drove to Pont Cyfyng where I parked in a car park by a café that had decided not to open today. From here I followed the path that heads up, past the old slate quarries, to llyn y Foel and on up the Daear Ddu ridge, the steep  east ridge of Moel Siabod. This is an utterly heavenly way up a hill. The Daear Ddu especially is delightful, always interesting, never too alarming, topping out right at the summit, like a rather easier version of Hall’s Fell on Blencathra. The steepest bit is right at the top where the path led me out towards the more exposed right hand side and up a short wall splendidly endowed with positive handholds.

I descended by the northeast ridge that comes down in places quite steeply to rejoin the outward route not far from the start. The first part of this was flat and rocky and rather pleasant but the steep bit not so pleasant. Next time, and please let there be a next time, I will take the same way up and try taking the Capel Curig path back down through the woods.
