Up and down from the track leading to Glaslyn nature reserve. This should have been added to the 15mile walk taking in Foel fadian, Clipyn Du, Carn Hyddgen, Foel Uchaf, Banc B ugeilyn and Esgair Greolen but I picked up a dog somewhere before Clipyn Du and it would not stop following me so I left this top out in order to take what looked like a completely knackered dog back to the farm where I thought it might have come from!WAYNE ROWLETT01/04/2018
