Walked on 23rd June 2018, a warm day with bright but hazy sun and no wind, in just under 9 hours. Planned to walk back to Tal-y-bont along the beach, but caught the train instead.

Best bits: the walk through the Cors-y-gedol woodland along Afon Ysgethin, the views of the Mawddach estuary and Cardigan Bay from the ridge between Lawlech and Abermaw, and the fish and chips at the end.

Worst bits: the mid-summer, mid-day slog up Y Llethr.

If I did this walk again: I'd follow the old coach road over Pont Scethin, or the Taeth Ardudwy Way from the head of the woodland, to miss out the Y Llethr, and leave more time for admiring the view from the end of the ridge.

CALCULATE CALORIES

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
