Looking back along the level.
  

Wooden stile.

Cwmorthin valley, right hand side....11.



View across the valley.
 

Finally the sun is breaking through.
  

Some fine lumps of rock.
  

Where there's quartz there will often be rare Welsh gold!

Looking down on the old mine buildings.


Waste slate from another big hole in the ground!

Having climbed further up the mountain I took another shot back down the valley.


Looking across the level from the mine entrance.


A struggle for some at this altitude.
