Ffestiniog railway.......38.

 I pleased to report the wifi is working, just a bit slow.

 

Dry stone walls.

 

Unfortunately soon to fall.

  

Time to climb back up the hill.

 

Cwmorthin valley after recent heavy rain......8.

The ruins of the mine managers house, a really large building.

  

Old mine building.

  

Further up the side of the valley the river passes under the waste levels and emerges here on the valley floor on it's way to the lake.

   

The wall is leaning well and the chimney has fallen. However, this shows how stable walls are when they are built from slate, no breeze block wall would lean that far and still be standing. All these buildings are "dry stone" built.
