Walking Cader Idris Madman or Poet?

Well i have seen bad weather before but i was in for a treat on my first climb up to Cader Idris. At a guess i think we where near 80mph winds with driving rain and at time had to get down on one knee (praying) for balance.

I was looking forward to seeing the wonderful views from the top of this mountain but had to make do with low cloud and horizontal rain but as always it was worth it.

Cadair Idris or Cader Idris is a mountain in Snowdonia, north Wales. It lies at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park and reaches 893 m at its summit, named Penygadair (Welsh for "top of the chair"). It is one of the most popular mountains in Wales. It is composed largely of Ordovician igneous rocks, with classic glacial erosion features such as cwms, moraines, striated rocks and roches moutonnées.
A number of named paths lead to the summit, such as the Pony Path, or the Fox's Path, the latter leading directly up the northern face of the mountain — a three-mile-long cliff and scree face. In recent years, the Fox's Path has degraded sufficiently to make it a dangerous descent for any other than experienced hikers and scramblers. To the north lie Dolgellau and the Mawddach estuary, while to the south is the glaciated Tal-y-llyn Lake.

Cadair Idris is imbued with numerous legends; some nearby lakes are supposed to be bottomless, and anyone who sleeps on its slopes will supposedly awaken either a madman or a poet.
