Walk to the ridge above Cwmorthin. 6

I am away for a week now, will continue this walk on my return.

The climb levels out for a short distance.

Waterfall and waterwheel building.

Time to make our way across the moor, no tracks to follow here.

Sisterly love.

No walk tomorrow, this is the last shot of the lambs.

Having passed this way many times I have only just been informed as to it's function. It is in fact a hydroelectric scheme, the generator is housed way down the valley. The first shot illustrates how the site has been modernised.
