The day's group at Cwmtwrch Uchaf
information panel
Leaving Cwmtwrch and passing an old mine entrance
Nant Gwys
A gentle climb through the woods
Track passes Brynhenllys Fishery
There were only a few flooded areas of track
Looking back;
Mynydd Marchywel behind the ladies
wet sections
We had warning of the next cloudburst -approaching from behind us!
After a torrential shower, we had our coffee stop in sunshine and dried out again
Bog!
towards Pen y Wern
Dorwen standing stone on the horizon
Dorwen Standing Stone
Looking further up along the Cwm Twrch valley
Pen-y-wern farm ruins - the NCB bought the farm from its last owners when the first open cast mining of the area cut off all access to the property
Lunchtime at the farm, with delicious Damsons from the old orchard
Leaving the farm, it wasn't as bad as it looked crossing this field
A particularly awkward stile
Afon Twrch
We were following the old miner's track alongside the river
Out in the open again
A pair of Common Blue Damselflies
Common Darter Dragonfly (probably)
