Precipice Walk

Last Thursday we did one of the local Famous Named Walks. We avoid these during the summer because they are very popular, but we thought that the route would be much quieter mid-week in October. And so it was. A minibus pulled into the car park just as we were setting off on the walk, but if the school group were doing the Precipice Walk, we managed to stay ahead of them all the way round.

We always do the walk anticlockwise because the views open up and get more spectacular as you go round, but we did meet a few people -- including a woman running with a collie -- who were doing it clockwise. First you climb up from the car park along a easy track to reach Llyn Cynwch, home sheep and, according to a local legend, fairies.



Now the real walk starts with a climb up to the path that curves around the hill. It's been wet lately. However, the weather was beautiful, a little chilly but bright and sunny.
