Mark Davidson walked up on August 11th, 2025 [from/via/route] From the circular parking area near Dinorwig [with] Alone [weather] The weaterman had promised sunshine & a mini-heatwave, but it was cloudy with a little rain later on - I had planned to climb Elidir Fawr again but I was too tired so I skirted around it, sticking to the 750m contour. Generally, it was OK walking across grass, but the last 300m was across a boulder field which wasn't fun given my fatigue.
