Barmouth
Spring 2008 Day 2
Day 1, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5

An early breakfast as we are down to catch the 08.57 from Barmouth. Some cut it finer than others.
We are off Southwards
.
.
Over the choppy Mawddach Estuary
.
.
.
To Aberdovey, where we soon get warm climbing steeply
.
.
.
In the teeth of a cold East wind
.
.
They must be mad with no woolly coats!
.
.
The walkers soon leave the sheep to their magnificent views
.
.
And continue in the teeth of the gale
.
.
Things are looking black
.
.
We descend to the valley floor for
.
.
A coffee stop
.
.
Where we are inspected by more locals
.
.
An amazing sky as we climb up to the Bearded Lake (Llyn Barfog) for lunch
.
.
After a minimal stop we are off on the return leg, this time with the wind behind us
.
.
Up and down
.
.
Obtaining almost aerial views
.
.
What now?
.
.
Only yet another cattle grid
.
.
The sea hoves into view and Brian leads us swiftly on
.
.
Pausing to admire
.
.
The glorious gorse
.
.
Before descending to Aberdovey and a welcome warm up in the coffee shop for some!
