Moel Eilio (Mynydd Elephant)

Yesterday afternoon did a short ride from Llanberis with an awesome singletrack downhill to finish.
For directions take a right hand turn (away from the lake) off the high street along Fordd Capel Coch. After 300yds take a right hand turn up Frongoch and after another 200yds take a left hand turn past the old peoples home. Climb the hill (steep along tarmac) almost to the top and take a lef thand turn along a bridleway for about 5 mins. At the end of this path you will come on to a rough track and follow this all the way up to the top (around 45mins - 1 hour). At the top you will get great views of Moel Hebog and you can then follow this into Waunfawr doing a loop back on yourself through the quarry above Llanberis. Alternatively you could do what we did and when you get to the top turn around a blast down the singletrack downhill which is superb. A good shortish ride.
