BSC25: Two Lakes and a Waterfall (Sat)
13 people attending
10 places left
This is one of the events organised as part of Big Spring Camp 2025.
This walk starts in Llanberis and includes quiet country lanes and slate quarry tracks along the way with the Vaynol Arms pub at the two thirds point. We'll take in two lakes, Llyn Peris and Llyn Padarn in Llanberis and the highlight of the walk (apart from the pub-stop) is the spectacular Ceunant Mawr Waterfalls.
The walk is moderate, undulating with a few small climbs totalling about 450 m. The walk is approximately 17 km in length.
After meeting at BSC to arrange car shares, the walk will begin from Llanberis where it will be possible to stock up on supplies!
This activity is also suitable for anyone taking part in the Conwy Parkrun (or up a bit late)!
