Saturday 3 December 2022 - Dolgellau parkrun and The Precipice Walk

After a quick cup of tea, we drove over to Dolgellau to join 20 or so other joggers for their Saturday morning 5km parkrun.

We both made it up and down the old railway line route twice, before adjourning to the delights of breakfast at the TH Roberts café. 

Results of the parkrun are here. Numbers were lower than usual due to support for the Bala event, which started up today after a long break.

Then we went for a stroll along the nearby Precipice Walk, previously walked on 10 July 2021. I think some new signage has been installed since then, but thankfully no parking meters. (Yet.)

The view across Llyn Cynwch was lovely, despite today's overcast sky.

The dull conditions didn't stop Sue from attempting to identify fungi...

Shield Lichen was as close as she could get to identifying the lichen below, whereas the one above was clearly Gray Reindeer Lichen.

Several more lichens were identified - see Sue's Facebook page if you are interested.

Our walk continued around the fine belvedere path, with more superb views.

After a good 3km we got back to the Llyn Cynwch reservoir and, just for a change, returned by way of the path along its eastern bank.

Here's the fine 6km circuit, from which we returned home for what would have been a late lunch had we needed one.

Then Sue popped out to stumble up and down the gnarly nearby peak of Moel-y-Gest,  from which excursion she posted these final three pictures.

And on Sunday we drove home...
