Today's walk...Dolwyddelan Castle.

Needless to say the forecast today wasn't exactly correct. Instead of a nice mountain walk, which was covered in low cloud when I arrived, I decided to take a detour to Dolwyddelen castle. That was after a further detour to the lakeside cafe at Tanygrisiau for beans on toast.
