Most of the effort getting from Talley was driving via Mynydd Figyn to the gate at 501282. Driving was more stressful and less absorbing than walking. At the gate,there was another hillbagger in car. Just room for the two cars. Quick 15 min bag in trainers as a downpour looked imminent, but- as on all these few days- I only caught a few flakes of snow. pleasant top. | pwheeler | 27/04/2016 |
