20p at Cil-cychwyn farm house and set off in rain and mist - the whole 6 hour walk was with 100m visibility. On farm track to Graig uchaf followed by 100 sheep in line. Sadie didn't like this, neither did I very much! WDP to old mine, crossed wall and then stream and to top. to Rhinog Fach.	arranc	23/03/1987
