Cader Idris and Llyn Cau

After fairly damp and gloomy weather in Snowdonia over recent days, the skies cleared and the sun came out today. We headed south to Minffordd to climb the lower part of the Cader Idris path, as far as the dramatic setting of Llyn Cau below the steep cliffs of the Cader Idris range. The mountains looked glorious, and if the day had been longer, we might have headed up to the summit of Penygadair. We'll save that for another day. After our walk, we headed to the Tyn-y-Cornel hotel at the end of Tall-y-lyn lake for coffee and cake - a lovely setting for post-walk refreshments.
