Walk in the hills.....12.

Fall of slate.

  

Dangerous ground, followthe tracks.

  

In the distance the lake.

 

Walk to the Roaches, far side....17.

Track ahead.

  

Over the rocks.

  

Nice feature.

 

Eastnor castle......5.

Coming up to the castle.

  

Through the trees.

 

Way ahead.

 

Too close for the camera lens to cope with the perspective.

 

Walk to the ridge above Cwmorthin. 23

A lot easier going down.

Almost down.

Old mine buildings across the lake.

Reflections.

Pistyll Rhaeadr....archive shots from 2003.

Back in the archives today. I took these shots with my first digital camera, a Fuji 6900, have re edited them although they didn't require a lot. The plan is to walk to the top of the falls.

The waterfall.

Way ahead.

Track through the woods.

Rugged steps.

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!

Walk to Bryn Glas slate mine. 9

The lake comes into view.

The track to the dam. The weather looks great, however, the wind is blowing hard and it's bitterly cold.

Looking across the lake, Llyn Norwynion.

Walk to the Gold Mine.10

Track back from the mine.

Windows.

Frosty track.

Another ruin.

Coed Ganllwyd, National Nature Reserve. 6

Waypoint marker.

Still some mist remaining in the valley.

Track through the woods.

Sign board.

Looking back at the bridge, when I was here last, several years ago this didn't exist.

Walk in Coed Y Brenin Forest. 4

The way ahead.

Forest stream.

Some of the forest has been cleared.

Still some mist remaining in the valley.

Moel Famau 6.

Distant Fir's.

Between the trees.

Dead trees.

Track through the heather.
