Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Gau Graig
Paul Wilcox walked up on July 31st, 2020 [from/via/route] GW103 from the summit of Cadair Idris, Mynnydd Moel [with] Howard K [weather] Beautiful sunny day - great visibility - Navigation really tough when you leave Gau Graig - not clear at all. Faint path at time and difficult terrain. Bit of a guess after the final ladder stile.
Mark Davidson climbed on June 12th, 2004 [with] Martin [weather] Dry but low cloud - did get some good views though
Christina Lander bagged on June 3rd, 2015 [from/via/route] Minffordd - Craig Cwm Amarch - Cadair Idris - Mynydd Moel - Gau Graig - Cwm Rhwyddfor - Minffordd [with] Dick [weather] Perfect sunny day - Another great day on Cadair Idris, one of my favourite mountains
Richard Penney hiked on February 25th, 2013 [from/via/route] Cadair Idris circuit [with] Solo [weather] Ice, mist etc
