Dolgellau to Ceredigion

65km (40.3 miles) | 2800m (9,186ft)

Leaving Southern Snowdonia over Cadair Idris and heading into the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales

Pumlumon Fawr is the highest point of the extensive Cambrian Mountains, but the even mightier Cadair Idris guards the approach early in the day. You pass through the centre of two towns on this day. Ice cream or chips? If you complete Day Three, the statistics are on your side for completing the race.
