Tuesday 29 November 2022 - some Porthmadog strolls

We are back in the living room in Porthmadog with a favourite view. 

This morning we set off around Llyn Bach on a favourite Tremadog circuit.

Autumnal colours were great today.

Sue identified a 'new' fungus - Hairy Curtain  Crust - on lots of old trees and stumps. 

That was on our sunny 6km stroll around Llyn Bach to Tremadog, returning through the woods to forage supplies from Tesco then spend a similar sum on coffee and cake in the Portmeirion café opposite the supermarket. 

There were fine views over Llyn Bach to Cnicht and the Moelwyns - very tempting but out of reach today.

Here's the 6km route.

After finishing off last night's kedgeree for lunch, a second 8km stroll via Borth-y-Gest provided good afternoon entertainment, especially after trying to leave the caravan site beyond the Mud and Sand bay, by a path that is incorrectly marked on the map. A dog walker came to our rescue after we got entangled in a forest of briars and were forced to retrace our steps.

Here are a couple of snaps from Borth-y-Gest and 'Mud and Sand.

Apart from that entanglement, a lovely 8km circuit. Here's the route.
