Today we climbed 6 mountains, two of them twice and two not worth bothering with. Flat featureless plateaux, Allt Lwyd, Waun Rydd, Bwlch y Ddwyallt, Gwaun Cerrig and Llwydion.

3 miles
Dogging Lane
Poachers Pocket along the canal, past Lion Quays up to bridge 15W, up to the bridge and along to the railway up and over and on to Nefod Lane. At the top end of the lane was a car parked and all steamed up…We all had a good giggle! Very informative walk!

4 miles 200 meters
Bryn Eglwys
A day bumbling around the mines, quarry and forestry above Abergynolwyn, trying to find our way up Tarren Hendre but failing. We took the wrong track of two parallel tracks but did manage Foel Fawr, amazing views.
25 June
5.5 miles 600 meters
The Rhinogs
Early start (6.15ish!) up the Roman Steps, right through to Bwlch Tyddaiad, turned right to skirt the hill to Llyn Du, around the lake and up to the summit of Rhinog Fawr. Wonderful views and sussed out many of the Rhinogs we have already walked.

Bit at the back!
The present mile of 1,760 yards was devised in 1593, who by and why? It was not used on any map until Ogilby.
