  • TerrainModerate hill walk with 500 metres of ascent/descent

An easy ascent up a fairly gentle track and then a grassy slop to the summit of Moel Cynghorion (the Hill of the Counsellors) to enjoy super views over to Snowdon's craggy northern flank. The broad, flat summit is fairly exposed and offers no shelter, so if the weather is windy we'll have lunch lower down, but if the weather conditions are good we can enjoy a break on the summit itself. A short but steepish descent on a grassy slope takes us to Bwlch Cwm Brwynog (the Col of the Rushy Valley) and into the Cwm itself for an atmospheric walk through the wild, remote valley. Be prepared for wind and cold at this time of the year by bringing wind, cold and water-proof clothing, hat and gloves. Boots essential. If the weather is very bad we will follow a low-level route instead of the advertised walk.

Esgyniad hawdd i fyny trac eithaf ysgafn ac yna llethr glaswelltog i gopa Moel Cynghorion (Bryn y Cynghorwyr) i fwynhau golygfeydd gwych drosodd i ystlys ogleddol greigiog yr Wyddfa. Mae'r copa llydan, gwastad yn weddol agored ac nid yw'n cynnig cysgod, felly os yw'r tywydd yn wyntog byddwn yn cael cinio yn is i lawr, ond os yw'r tywydd yn dda gallwn fwynhau seibiant ar y copa ei hun. Mae disgyniad byr ond serth ar lethr glaswelltog yn mynd â ni i Bwlch Cwm Brwynog (Col y Dyffryn Rushy) ac i mewn i'r Cwm ei hun am dro atmosfferig trwy'r dyffryn gwyllt, anghysbell. Byddwch yn barod am wynt ac oerfel yr adeg hon o'r flwyddyn trwy ddod â dillad, het a menig sy'n gwrthsefyll gwynt, oer a dŵr. Boots yn hanfodol. Os yw'r tywydd yn wael iawn byddwn yn dilyn llwybr lefel isel yn lle'r daith gerdded a hysbysebir.
