Walk to the ridge above Cwmorthin. 14



In the distance Porthmadog, spoiled by the haze.


Looking down on the dam and lake, the clouds have increased since I got up here.


Looking over the dam.



Massive amounts of quartz at this height.

Walk to the ridge above Cwmorthin. 10



An abundance of quartz in this area, with gold!


The dam wall.


Hole in the dam wall.


The lake behind the dam, existed before the dam was built.

Walk to Wrysgan mine.16



A useful set of steps. Slate is very slippery when wet so care is needed when it rains.


A bend in the track. The miners seemed to take pride in their work environment, it's a shame it is slowly disappearing.


The sun is finally trying to break through.


Many tons of waste in the distance.


Loads of quartz in this rock and probably some traces of Welsh gold too!
