In reply to Nicholas Livesey:
A very clear description of an excellent route, one of the best walking days Snowdonia has to offer in my opinion.
Re your comment:
'However, before you get there the map may tempt you with a cross country route which cuts out the final couple of miles of road walking..'
This is a very interesting end to the walk taking you through some fascinating disused quarry workings & over the top of slag heaps. As you say though, navigation can be slightly more problematic than a standard 'path', especially if in very low cloud.
Looking forward to your next route card Mr.L!
