A wide track gradually
ascended from the car park to the lake which, with clear
blue skies, was a photographer’s delight. A narrow
track climbed gently from the lake onto the escarpment
with more good views on the way. The path followed the
escarpment at the edge of a broad ridge with the high
point at Picws Du. From there the grassy path descended
to a gully then followed a narrow zig-zagging track
below the cliff of Picws Du. Gradually descending over
open moorland we reached the outward track and quickly
returned to the car. |
