Side view of the incline.
Looking up the incline. When in use there would have been rails for the slate trucks to pass up and down.
Top of the incline. Beyond this point were the slate dressing sheds and workshops.

At the top of the shot is what's known as the Welsh Matterhorn.
A useful tip, if you are not sure of the ground ahead, follow the sheep tracks!

Walk to Moelwyn Mawr.21
Final shots from Moelyn Mawr today. In it's day, that old Fuji Fine Pix S7000 took quite a decent picture.
Looking down on the workshops and the small lake that powered the tools.
A waterwheel was one housed here.
Time to climb back down to the Cwmorthin valley below.
The weather has exposed part of the old tramway rail and sleeper in the Cwmorthin valley.
