We left our walk yesterday overlooking Llyn Eiddew Mawr. Just a few steps further on, to the left, is it’s smaller sibling Llyn Eiddew Bach, which had THE most perfect reflection. (Llyn means Lake, Mawr means Big or Large and Bach means Small btw). From this you can guess that the landscape is littered (or maybe that should be flooded) with lakes or ponds of various sizes and from there I ascended slightly off the route to have a look at Llyn Dywarchen, (pic 31), simply because it looked a nice shape. As it turned out, I could also see it from the secondary hump next to the Ysgyfarnogod summit, (pics 40 & 41) but it was worth the short detour.
I thought I’d have the summit to myself (after only seeing the one cyclist in yesterday’s post), but I was surprised to see a couple leant against the trig point. They were having their lunch after walking up from their home in LLandecwyn. (It was a regular walk of theirs apparently).
I had hoped or thought about walking back down via Cwm Bychan, but the route back home from there was along a long narrow road and, in the event, the path on the ground to Cwm Bychan wasn’t very clear. So, to save retracing my steps completely, I took the direct route down via the very Tolkien sounding village of Eisingrug. (I didn’t know it existed either until I walked through it – and there were no Hobbits to be found! 🤔)

Many thanks Donna. I’m still looking to put my feet in the white stuff… But I can’t say I miss shovelling it!

Beautiful walk and nice pictures. I’m not going to try to pronounce the names of the places 🙂

I plan to do an ‘introduction’ to the Welsh alphabet and some of the related diphthong sounds, which may help. But there are some exceptions, which means, unless you are a native Welsh speaker (which I’m not), it’s still a bit hit and miss whether you get it right (or even close!) It’s definitely not an easy language to learn (though we are trying). 😊

It looks a bit barren but still, such a scenic landscape!! Excellent images Mike and I wouldn’t mind walking there for hours with my two dogs.
No Hobbits?? Such a shame 😁

Yes, apparently, a lot of the trees were felled many years ago to make ships. It’s definitely a good dog walking area, but there are a lot of sheep, so most people take theirs down to the beach. 🐕 🏖 😊

Wonderful walk, Mike but no Hobbits! Did you look the right places?

Thanks Hanna. Maybe I should have looked a bit harder. They are quite secretive creatures. 😉
