Weather is variable
Aug. 27th, 2024 04:06 pmWe're getting a mixture of dry and occasionally sunny days, separated by wet and (over the weekend) very windy days. However, yesterday was dull but the forecast said it would be dry so we went for a walk.
Because it was the Bank Holiday Monday we avoided the tourist hotspots like the Mawddach Trail. We didn't drive anywhere either because the roads are busy and the car parks likely to be full. Instead we did a 4½ mile circular walk round some local back lanes. I didn't take my camera due to the light being very blah, but I took a couple of snaps with my phone.
The lanes are quiet because they don't go anywhere, just looping round to provide access to a few scattered houses, a campsite, a small caravan site, a holiday cottage and holiday chalets and a new cluster of glamping pods. We rather liked the sign for "The Herd" which is new since we last walked this way. If you click through to the full size, you might be able to see that above the words is a small herd of cattle.
The lane meanders around and then rejoins the bigger lane that we turned off at the beginning of the walk. Looking back at all the signs to the various cottages we have passed.
The Herd
Tal y Waen & cottages (Owl and Buzzard)
The Pens
Tyn Llwyn
Graig
Gellilwyd Fach
Near the start of the walk it did start to spit with rain, but nothing came of it so we didn't need the waterproofs we were carrying in our backpacks. We were back in time to get a few things done before lunch.
