A almost perfect day for a stroll up Siabod.

We wandered through Coed Y Brenin to warm up our legs before the main climb.  We were treated to spectacular views on Snowdonia for most of the way. At the half way  point  we stopped for coffee and fuel. Nearing the summit we diverted right to walk around the plateau to gleen views of Cnicht  and Trawsfynydd. Then it was one last push to the summit, it's trig point and the shelter for lunch. After lunch we continued around the plateau before descending by the same route we came up and decided to extend the walk going back via Coed Y Brenin .

Well earned after walk Purple Moose drinks and a meal were taken at the Tyn Y Coed Hotel.

Birds seen or heard, Wagtail, Wheatear, Skylark, Meadow Pipit,  Common Buzzard, European Robin, Raven.
