    A lap of Llyn Elsi

    Managed to squeeze some walkies in while in Wales last week. The nice lady in Tourist Information suggested this walk and it was so enjoyable we went back in and thanked her.

    The climb up....

    It was snowing (slightly) just before we reached this tree. I gave it a good inspection before we went underneath it.

    A lovely part of the country and great photographs. I like to walk both sides of the A5 there; the Llyn elsi side and on the opposite side of the A5 there are disused mines and a lake (Llyn Parc) which is also a good walk. Both have a nice steep start to get the blood moving.
