The view was worth the hike. Even on an overcast day it looked great. I'll post a photo later. Thanks for your company, now home thawing out. Brrr

Not the warmest day in places was it?

The only picture I took was this one of the Ffestiniog Railway bridge over the road through Rhyd.

I dressed expecting it to be like Friday, getting hotter and sunnier as the day wore on. It took a while for me to get warm once I got home. I should have with leathers and m/c boots. I slept very well last night.

Best I could do with the dull lighting. Doesn't do justice to the view.

I spotted this building yesterday and researched it when I got home. It's a favourite with cyclists due to hairpins on the access road. Unfortunately not available to us unless you want to lift your bike over the gates.

You can see the dam from miles around when you are south of it. It's pretty spectacular. I've walked up there before on some of my hikes around y Moelwynion. Brilliant hiking country.
