MOEL EILIO SH556577
Gain the summit of Moel eilio by way of a long ride/push (1 hour, 40mins), passing Maen-llywyd-isaf at GR567595, and striking directly up hill to your left at GR 557599. Pay attention to variations in the terrain as you head up, as these will add interest to your speedy descent to the access track. In descent, you will gain substantial speed! It is recommended that you wear as much protective clothing as possible. This route is a good, old- fashioned belt down the hill. It is not technically demanding in any way, but your speed is only limited by your desire to survive!!! Remember that there are several gates to open, once you get back on the lower track. By this time you are in cruise-mode, complete with huge grin, and desire for a large mug of tea! Before you know it you are back on Llanberis High Street, ready to plan your next route!
