I've been down in southern Snowdonia on a mini-expedition following the River Mawdach out to sea, from the old Toll Bridge at Penmeanpool.
Lots of good wildlife encounters along the way and a very friendly little Robin.
It rained the whole journey there, but as soon as we got hiking along the old railway, things began to brighten up and our waterproofs were not needed on the entire journey.
Some lovely evening light on Friday as we approached the mouth of the estuary.
The sunset was making this old iron bridge really glow!
We got to Arthog Outdoor Education Centre (our accommodation for the night), just before dark, then after dinner set back out, over the long bridge to Barmouth on a night hike.
As well as the lights of the town, we saw some fantastic shooting stars as we crossed the bridge. One when the whole way across the sky! Incredible!
Saturday greeted us with blue skies and the first frost of the winter!
My group and I hiked up on the mountain side behind the centre and joined the Welsh coastal path.
Super views and cold fingers!
From the high level coastal path, we journeyed south to Llangwril, with views all the way up the coast to the Lleyn.
Having located the pre-placed minibus, we stopped on the way home for a quick run on the beach at Fairbourne...
Where we found a sunbathing starfish!
Made it home to The Cottage in the evening and collapsed in front of the fire! A great trip, but exhausting!
