stayed here before, right in the centre of Dolgellau, next to all the pubs, comfy rooms, nice hosts, decent brekkie, and wifi.

Last time we rode Cadair Idris, the snow was so deep we sacked the bikes off, went and bought sledges, and walked up it, then sledged down. It was a right laugh ๐Ÿ˜€

It was April

I quite fancy Cadair Idris, but when I head down the M6 I can't get past the Lakes.... ๐Ÿ˜†

I think some perspective is called for on Cadair being quiet. It still sees well in excess of 50,000 visitors a year. Now think that these will probably mainly be scattered over 9-10 months. And then very heavily weighted to weekends... around a half of Snowdon's 500,000+ annual visitors climb the mountain on weekends. So you may well still get 200-300 on the mountain on a saturday. The good news is that you'll only share the very top section with these, with the trails up as far as where it joins the Pony Path seeing very little walking traffic. It's a great ride, as is Snowdon. Enjoy!

I hate these large groups that head into the hills. Thanks to social media they are becoming more frequent. Arseholes, they ruin other peoples days out due to the noise generated and space they take up, block paths, crowd out viewpoints and generally get up everyones nose. Anymore than a group of three/four people and they become oblivious to anyone else around them. Hope you all get punctures!

You don't ride trail centres then?
