"Through the door of the birds where the breeze breaks..."
Following in the footsteps of Will Stanton and Bran Davies, high up above the Dysynni valley on Craig yr Aderyn (Birds' Rock), looking towards Cader Idris and the mountain fastnesses of Y Brenin Llwyd. A place that I have known since I was at primary school, but have never been to before except in my imagination.
A quick bit of #Defaidodon action for you this evening. A couple of sheep give scale to Big Scenery.
Tyrrau Mawr and Craig-y-Llyn, two of the satellite peaks of Cader Idris, both sporting fine Bronze Age cairns, rising above Llyn Cyri. From a wonderful walk from Abermaw (Barmouth) this time last year.
Absolutely stunning day on Cadair Idris today. The last two times I've come partway up in November rain, gales and zero visibility. Today was an amazing contrast, with spectacular views of Yr Wyddfa and the Eryri ranges, as well as the coast at Abermaw, Pumlumon and Shropshire.
Here's a view of Llyn Cau that most people don't see, with Craig Cwm Amarch rising sheer above. Downhill from the lake an Iron Age treasure hoard was found.
