A Walk Up Cadair Idris - The Pony Path 26 June 2018. Stunning!
I wanted to do something special to celebrate 100,000 hits on my channel so here it is, a route I’d never done before. The ascent took 3 hours and was 5km and 727m of climbing in near 30 degree heat. We start from the Ty-Nant car park near Dolgellau. I’ve split this film into 2 parts, the descent will come next. Thank you very much for watching. If you enjoyed this then try the Minffordd Path on the other side of Cadair Idris

Cadair Idris is a mountain in Gwynedd, Wales, which lies at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park near the town of Dolgellau. The peak, which is one of the most popular in Wales.
There are numerous legends about Cadair Idris. Some nearby lakes are supposed to be bottomless, and anyone who sleeps on its slopes alone will supposedly awaken either a madman or a poet. This tradition (of sleeping on the summit of the Mountain) apparently stems from bardic traditions, where bards would sleep on the mountain in hope of inspiration.
In Welsh mythology, Cadair Idris is also said to be one of the hunting grounds of Gwyn ap Nudd and his Cŵn Annwn. The howling of these huge dogs foretold death to anyone who heard them, the pack sweeping up that person's soul and herding it into the underworld.
'Aerial Adventure' is a short film series, It's exactly what it says it is. Join me on my endeavours and see the world from a whole new perspective.
To me they act as nostalgic video diary entries and I hope you can feel the adventure and emotion that is present in all of them.
Enjoy!

???????? ???????? The Awesome CAD WEST Low Flying Jet Site In Wales Mach Loop.
This was my first visit to the Mach Loop Whilst on holiday in north Wales in 2009. It was awesome, I was very lucky, on my first day there were over 30 passes, and on my second day loads of Typhoons and a F-15. The photographers up there were a very friendly people, and I would like to thank all of them, for the tips and advice they gave me about the Mach Loop. Cad West was definitely my favorite site on the loop.

Dolgellau is a market town in Gwynedd, north-west Wales, lying on the River Wnion, a tributary of the River Mawddach. Dolgellau is traditionally the county town of the historic county of Merionethshire, which lost its administrative status when Gwynedd was created in 1974. Dolgellau is the main base for climbers of Cader Idris.
Today, the economy of Dolgellau relies chiefly on tourism, although agriculture still plays a role; a farmers' market is held in the town centre on the third Sunday of every month. It is believed that Dolgellau Cricket Club, founded in 1869 by Frederick Temple, is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Wales.
The surrounding area is known for its wild but beautiful countryside and places of historical interest. It is popular with tourists who enjoy activities such as walking, hiking, horse riding, white-water rafting and climbing. Dolgellau is the main base for climbers of Cadair Idris. Aircraft enthusiasts also use the town as the base for the Mach Loop. Dolgellau is a good centre for visiting a number of nearby narrow-gauge heritage railways, including the Corris Railway, the Fairbourne Railway and the Talyllyn Railway.
The Great Western Railway line from Ruabon to Llangollen was extended via Corwen and Llanuwchllyn to Dolgellau, where it formed an end-on connection with the Cambrian Railways line from Barmouth Junction and a shared station was opened there in 1868. The Ruabon Barmouth line was closed in the 1960s under the Beeching Axe. The railway line was converted some years ago into the Llwybr Mawddach (or Mawddach Trail) which now runs for some eight miles from Dolgellau to Morfa Mawddach railway station, near Fairbourne on the coast. It is maintained by the Snowdonia National Park and is very popular with walkers and cyclists. It passes some estuarine areas that are important for water birds.
The site of Dolgellau railway station itself, along with about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) of former trackbed, was used to construct the Dolgellau bypass in the late 1970s. Historical attractions, apart from the town itself, include the 12th century Cymer Abbey, a short walk from Dolgellau. The tourist information centre also has an exhibition on Quakers and there is a Quaker graveyard in the town. A field known as Camlan, in nearby Dinas Mawddwy, has been claimed as the site of the last battle of King Arthur.

Places to see in ( Barmouth - UK )
Barmouth is a town in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay. Located in the Historic county of Merionethshire, the Welsh form of the name is derived from Aber (estuary) and the river's name, Mawddach. The town is served by Barmouth railway station.
Barmouth grew around the shipbuilding industry, and more recently as a seaside resort. Notable buildings include the mediaeval Tŷ Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Tŷ Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church. William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it thus: With a fine sea view in front, the mountains behind, the glorious estuary running eight miles [13 km] inland, and Cadair Idris within compass of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its own against any rival.
Barmouth Bridge, which takes the Cambrian Line over the River Mawddach, was also formerly at the end of the GWR Ruabon Barmouth line, which passed through Bala and Dolgellau. The southern end of the bridge is now the start of the Mawddach Trail, a cycle path and walk way that utilises the old trackbed. The Barmouth Ferry sails from Barmouth to Penrhyn Point, where it connects with the narrow gauge Fairbourne Railway for the village of Fairbourne.
Barmouth is (geographically) one of the closest seaside resorts to the English West Midlands and a large proportion of its tourist visitors, as well as its permanent residents, are from Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and other parts of the Black Country, and Telford, Shropshire. The town has a RNLI lifeboat station with a Visitors' Centre with shop and viewing gallery.
Barmouth has one major association football team: Barmouth & Dyffryn United, the team competes in the Welsh Alliance league and is generally well supported by residents. Barmouth is the venue for the annual Barmouth Beach Race, a motocross event. Usually taking place on the last weekend in October, the event sees riders take part in beach racing, using a temporary motocross course constructed on the beach.

Cadair Idris - Alex Rambles
There are few mountains that crop up in legend and folklore quite as frequently as Cadair Idris. This massive upthrust of land is the southernmost high point of Snowdonia and was once thought to be the highst mountain in the British Isles on account of its lofty apearance from the north. In reality it is half a kilometre shy of such an accolade, standing proud at 893 metres. Regardless of this, it is still a fine mountain massif containing numerous summits, a unique ambience and some delectable llyns.
Perhaps this ambience is due to the various myths and legends that surround the mountain. Cadair Idris means the chair of Idris, Idris being a King who was said to use the mountain's mighty bulk as his throne. Some tales tell of a huge giant, others of an ordinary man. Stranger still are the tales that tell of Cadair Idris being the home of the Celtic God of the Underworld and its hounds of hell that roam the summit in the dead of night. Many who have slept on Cadair Idris claim to have heard them howling through the dark hours, though the wind may be a more credible suspect. Speaking of using the summit as night time accomodation, a saying goes that if you sleep on Cadair Idris you will awake either as a poet or a madman. And it is an easier summit than most to sleep on, as early entrepreneurs built a shelter up there that is as sturdy as some Scottish bothies. Guiding on Cadair Idris was a profitable business, you see, when people thought it was the highest in the land.
As pleasant and atmospheric as Idris' summit and ridges are, for me the main attraction is Cwm Cau with its fabulous, almost circular llyn. This is a scene of great beauty. The mountain above is reflected superbly in its serene waters, whilst the pointed summit of Craig Cwm Amarch looks down magesterially from above. It is frequently compared to Snowdon, but really comparisons are unnecessary. I found Cadair Idris to be charming in its own right, but not in the same league as Snowdon in terms of drama. One final legend to mention! Do not be lulled into a false sense of security by Llyn Cau's beauty, for below its surface awaits a terrifying sea serpent named the Afanc, or so the legend goes...

Wales 2013 - Episode 1 - Cadair Idris
Episode 1/3.
I've been on a magnificent trip to southern Snowdonia, Wales. I'm making a three part mini-series of my adventure. In this episode I hike up Cadair Idris on the Minffordd Path.
Cadair Idris is a mountain in Gwynedd, Wales, which lies at the southern end of the Snowdonia National Park.
We were lucky with the weather, been mostly sunny all day...apart from at the summit where we were in the clouds. Then it all cleared up again as we began our descent.
A great day full of wonderful views. Well worth the effort!
