Barmouth estuary. Its an even nicer view from a bit higher up (this was from ~400m.). - IMG_2062.JPG
A very pleasant surprise round the side of Cadair. A empty solitude painted in greens and blues. - IMG_2084.JPG
The Dysynni valley. Smashing place really, Cadair is on the L side looking quite different. The implausible lump on the right is craig yr aderyn. Once a sea cliff, and still populated by some very stubborn sea birds! - IMG_2119.JPG
Cadair from the Dysynni valley - the bulk of the arm coming off Cwm Amarch rather dominates. - IMG_2120.JPG
Craig yr aderyn. Making little more sense from closer up! Cormorants even apparently, although I only really saw seagulls. - IMG_2147.JPG
The tarrens. Exceedingly lonely grassy hills. - IMG_2161.JPG
Finised off down Cardigan bay. No dolphins or anything, but one raven moderately close. - IMG_2172.JPG
Following the 'coast' route from Aberdyfi (a lovely place) to ~Borth. Via Machynlleth, because obviously it would be too hard to stick a bridge over the bay! - IMG_2191.JPG
Took a second or two to process this. They were only a couple of little yappy things, so seems a bit surprising they'd follow people. - IMG_2222.JPG
The rather nice Welsh coastal path way marker. Put up in prodigious quantities! - IMG_2236.JPG
The Tarrens from the other side to the earlier photo. Back down the river I came up on the morning. Slightly silly this :) - IMG_2249.JPG
Quite a lot of effort to get back to the other side of the estuary from the morning! - IMG_2265.JPG
Aberystwyth in some 'lovely' Welsh weather. Time to turn East to the border. Several big rivers carving E from here, I went along the ystwyth. - IMG_2291.JPG
It wasn't actually terribly wet, although it was earlier. Just more low cloud/humidity etc. - IMG_2300.JPG
An atmospheric interlude, complete with tree auditioning for a sword of Damocles. - IMG_2334.JPG
Some half decent waterfalls on the upper ystwyth. - IMG_2336.JPG
Cwn ystwyth. Rather destroyed by mining, not that you could really see it with the cloud in place! No choice but to plough on up & over though. Thankfully the potential heavy driving rain held off. - IMG_2369.JPG
A slightly silly bit of route planning (given the weather) to go round the reservoirs. They're rather nice as it happens but quite a long way and the cloud wasn't moving. - IMG_2397.JPG
A hill, in sunshine no less? Wow. - IMG_2404.JPG
This is actually typical of the whole remainder of the walk - very pleasant, hilly, pastoral lanscapes. Also a surfeit of kites and buzzards, not my super compact x 3 zoom thing can photograph them! - IMG_2458.JPG
Knighton, very pleasantly placed. This whole walk was basically very pleasant cf the previous photograph. - IMG_2501.JPG
Another random bit of rolling pastoral views. - IMG_2521.JPG
More rolling pastoral things, but the odd hint of some of the rather savagely steep valleys coming up. - IMG_2540.JPG
The Shropshire hills/plain - it was a much better view than the photos make it appear. Stipperstones on the right hand side, with the odd grey glint from its quartzite. - IMG_2549.JPG
Honestly, I think the camera rather over did the colour here. It was getting seriously hot though - this was the day before the 30 degree heat hit. I actually ran out of water coming into Montgomery but easy to fix once there.
