As usual, we drove to a car park before starting our walk. However, this time we drove a little further and parked at the car park for Morfa Mawddach station which is on the Cambrian Coast line. Morfa Mawddach is just a halt or request stop as they are now called. As the train approaches, you have to indicate to the driver that you want the train to stop -- basically stick out your hand. If you are on the train, you need to ask the guard to let the driver know you want to get off.
Looking towards Barmouth at the foot crossing at Morfa Mawddach station. As you can see, the line is single track with occasional passing places.
( Read on here... )I did take one photo of the estuary on the way back. The weather stayed dry, though the sky was threatening, but we could see that Barmouth was bathed in sunshine. The photo shows the view across the estuary to Barmouth. The Fairboune miniature steam train can just be seen in the distance in the centre of the photo, just above the three sheep. If you click through to Flickr, you'll be able to see the full size version.
The whole walk was 5 miles, which felt comfortable. Tomorrow the weather forecast is grim. Heavy rain and strong winds, so we won't be going anywhere.
