Wednesday 25 February 2026 - A Circuit from Llanarmon



A five minute drive from Pen y Bont saw us back in Llanarmon, from where we headed up the minor road to Pentre.


Sue captured the fresh blossom of a roadside shrub.


On reaching the end of the road at Swch-cae-rhiw, and attempt by locals to exclude trial bikes and 4x4 vehicles from the hill tracks. This  is mainly a weekend problem. We saw nobody today.


Up at the farm, a collection of US forces vehicles - not in particularly good condition. 


We enjoyed good views back along the Ceiriog valley in the fine weather, before a persistent drizzle assumed command. 


Elevenses in the sunshine with striking views.



Sue and Paul went off with Rufus to explore some waterfalls.





Meanwhile, Jeanette and I viewed the waterfalls from afar.


Eventually we met up again.


Lunch in the rain, with music provided by a Mistle Thrush.


One for AlanR.


After a while we reached a familiar track near Bryn Du, from where we descended easily to Llanarmon.

Sue spotted some Fool's Liquorice on the way down.


Today's stats - 14km with 380 metres ascent, taking 5 hours, including a half hour wait for the waterfall contingent. Here's the route.
