Reached the summit at 4pm exactly (1.30pm start) after doing Snowdon via Crib Goch in the morning. Lovely day in the valley but very strong wind up top - could barely stand up on the trig. Lovely walk up with the woodland, waterfalls and lake. Will definitely be back to try the Pony Path as did the Minffordd Path this time.

Pillar's had a chequered history resulting in appearing to have been built without a flush bracket despite it having one originally. Primary Trigs in Wales by John Davies gives a good account. Centre cap gone, and just a residue of the replacement composite disc remains.

Above date is most recent of eighteen visits, first in 1975. This time walked up from Cader Gates and around the ridge to Mynydd Moel before descending steeply. A couple of previous ones were night visits and I've always wondered if I came down as a poet or a madman, or does the second night out on top cancel out the first? Pillar was completed on August 22nd, 1936 but fell into a bad state, was demolished and rebuilt in 1985.

Ascended from the car park at Minffordd and had reasonable weather apart from the very windy summit. Descended via a fairly well defined but unmarked on the map path. Last climbed around the mid seventies but don't recall a roof on the shed. Very hard on my knees on the descent but still a great walk. Very few people around today., Does anyone know when and why the flush bracket was removed?

Walked up the Minffordd Path with some friends who were on a sponsored walk. This path is relentless, climbing 800m from the car park in 4km length. Amazing views of the lake on the way up and over to the Mawddach Estuary from the top. Needed a beer tent and burger van at the top for the crowds of people!! The circular walk back down seemed even steeper. Fantastic day out.

Harsh hike up from Barmouth, but was very lucky with the weather, as the cloud moved off as I reached the dramatic summit of Cadair Idris. The Trig Point's Flush Bracket is missing, seems someone has filled the hole with concrete too. Some damage to the Trig, but considering the pounding from the weather this thing must get, it's doing ok. Tap Fell Finder into Google to follow my trip!

On Diffwys yesterday it was bearable. Today despite Daffodils and sunshine in the valleys it was still Arctic at the summit. Lunch with the Four Mustgetbeers in a Kisu outside the shelter. Passed on type of conditions at the summit to poorly clad walkers on our way down to avoid the summit. Someone in the tourist office needs to pass on advice to such walkers as they provide them with the written description of the ascent.

Not done on the best of days, set off from a parking spot on the B4405. Summit looked set to be under low cloud for the day. So we had a walk up to Llyn Cau. At this point we decided to ditch the summit and walk around Llyn Cau. On completion of our circular walk the summit was cloud free - So decision change, made the trig pillar in less than an hour. (Pre trig pointing days so no FB/GR logged but got the pic. ) Summit back in low cloud by the time we got there, remember sitting in the shelter taking photos and seeing the low cloud in the pics inside the shelter.!! Average mark because the weather was playing games with us.

You struggle up a hill and then find the flush bracket is gone, you walk around the trig three times thinking surely not I've just missed it haven't I ? Its only when you get down again and check here that sanity is restored - it has gone ! Looks like it may have been here on my last visit about 20 plus years ago, much better hill than I remembered - very impressive........... but in the shelter black holes and Calcutta were mentioned today !

Having perused my various walking holiday trips and have recently started [ie 2015] trigpointing, I am proud to say that I have achieved getting to this trigpoint! The weather was Welsh-wet [ie pouring and misty] but fellow geocacher Climber1958 who lives locally was a pure gentleman and still offered to act as my guide to the summit as I was keen despite the weather! Cannot remember our route but we did pass a poignant memorial to a young Welsh girl who had walked miles barefoot to obtain a Bible, which was thought-provoking. Due to the weather, scenery and views were almost nil - but on a good day they must be superb!

Found an old diary with notes of a walk up the magnificent Cader Idris we did when stopping for a few days around Dolgellau. Valerie got up to the lovely Llyn Cau on the Minffordd Track and I pushed on to the summit. It stuck in my mind this was the last time I imagined myself as a fell runner, as I pegged it downhill. After nearly becoming a medical statistic, I resigned myself to less frantic descents in future.

This was my first visit to this area. A subsequent visit on 01.05.98 took us to the "Nuttall" peaks missed on the first visit.

A beautiful, sunny warm day and had the summit to myself late in the afternoon on the Cambrian Way. No FB number on trig. Heading down to complete the day in the Gwernan Lake Hotel where I was scared stiff by a tethered eagle owl I hadn't spotted in the twilight gloom.

At the time of our visit the pillar was quite badly damaged and the FB was missing as was the plug. It has subsequently been rebuilt. OS No for the FB is S1603. Just below the trig there was a plaque to Will Ramsbotham, a fellrunner.

Three days in Snowdonia, not a sight of blue sky at any point. Snowdon, Cader Idris and Moel Siobod all climbed in varying degrees of bloody awful weather.

Another Trig photo I found in my archives. Great climb up the Fox's Path and back down the Pony Path. When we were young with young children.

One of many visits since the mid 1970s, but this is the first that I have recorded photographically, with a definite date to go by.

First of many visits, but none recently. Shocked to hear that the bronze has gone. Went up from the railway station at Barmouth.. ended up at a cracking festival in Dolgellau.

First visited in 1972, again in 1978 and then mid 90's. Always a great walk around the cliffs surrounding Llyn Cau on the Minnfordd Path.
