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. It's a shame that an alternative walking route through fields has been blocked off by the local farmers.
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.
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.
In that first lunch pic Rufus looks as though he's ready for off again.
ReplyDeleteRufus likes to be in charge Conrad. Thanks Martin for the Case picture. It’s unusual to see a Case IH Maxxum 110 fitted with Soucy tracks. The 110 is expensive enough and the tracks are sold as an accessory. We experimented with them and they worked great but today the cost for a set of four track kits would around £70K. Maybe even more.
