Today's 10km jaunt was on the way home. A pleasant outing in cool, clear weather, on moorland paths and tracks. Walk 19 in Alex Kendall's 'Snowdonia South' book.
Under the slopes of Arenig Fawr, we walked to the eponymous small reservoir that was the target of this route. There's a small dam, and a bothy that could accommodate three people. Far below, and pictured above, is Llyn Celyn, a large controversial reservoir created for the benefit of Liverpool. A village was drowned and the opening ceremony for the dam became a galvanising force for Welsh nationalism.
Good to end this trip in bright sunshine. More pictures etc will appear here in due course.
