This ridge has 3 Nuttalls:
Aran Fawddwy, Erw y Ddafad Ddu, and Aran Benlynn.
This was a wet trek rather than a warm treat!.
| (1) Lush green scenery near Abergynolwyn (Day 1). | |
| (2) Heading towards Birds Rock (where cormorants nest a few miles inland) above the Afon Dysynni in its flat valley. | |
| (3) A view to the north east from Birds Rock (Craig yr Aderyn). | |
| (4) Another farming scene near our lunch spot. | |
| (5) Part of the ruined castle at the top of a rocky knoll (Castell Bere). | |
| (6) The final leg of the day's walk as we head back towards Abergynolwyn. | |
| (7) The pub where Tod and I enjoyed a pint of real Ale (Day 1). | |
| (8) The second day's walk (Sunday) was a loop to the north west of Dolgellau. Here is a pretty woodland scene near a reservoir. | |
| (9) The sun comes out as we head around a small reservoir. | |
| (10) Looking south to the river (Afon Mawddach) which flows through Dolgellau as it heads towards the sea at Barmouth. | |
| (11) After a pint in the George 3rd Inn we head along the old railway back to Dolgellau and a coffee there (Day 2). | |
| (12) A memorable day for Tod and me at the ZipWorld adventure attraction near Bethesda. See the separate web page for the movie! (Day 3, rest day). | |
| (13) About to cross the iconic railway bridge at Barmouth (Day 4 was a walk along the estuary). | |
| (14) A train heads north on the bridge. | |
| (15) We now head east on the south bank of the Mawddach - the day was quite grey, windy and a bit raw. | |
| (16) Our second visit to the George the Third Inn before the coach picked us up. | |
| (17) On day 5 we tackled the Cadair Idris ridge walk which included 4 peaks over 2000 feet (Nuttalls). Here is a view of the ridge we are about to climb. | |
| (18) Looking down on Llyn y Gadair from the smmit of Cadair Idris (893m). The first peak was called Cyfrwy, which Tod, I and a chap called Keith bagged away from the main group. | |
| (19) Lunch was taken in the shelter at Cadair Idris. From Centre to right are Theresa, Jan and Geoff (the leader). | |
| (20) We continue on towards the third peak - Mynydd Moel (863m). | |
| (21) The small lake called Llyn Arran as we continue east on the ridge. | |
| (22) After the fourth peak (Gau Graig) we stop for lunch before our long and complex descent to Dolgellau, via a few wrong turns. | |
|
(23) Day 6 saw a very grim, grey, wet and windy trek along the Aran ridge. This ridge has 3 Nuttalls: Aran Fawddwy, Erw y Ddafad Ddu, and Aran Benlynn. This was a wet trek rather than a warm treat!. |
|
| (24) Cold and wet, we head down towards the village of Llanuwchllyn to be picked up (crikey, I'm not sure how that is pronounced!). | |
