A different view of Rhinog Fawr - looking across Llyn Cwm Bychan. 
An attempt to be artistic!
Dave J. on the Roman Steps and on a Roman Bridge?
Not one of the best views of the day! No it's only Roger on the Roman Steps!
The Rhinogs from Cwm Nantcol - one of the best views of the day! Walk stats: distance: 13.3 miles; Climb:1797'.
Time: 6 hours 53 minutes; On the move walking average: 2.4 m.p.g.;Overall walk average:1.9m.p.h.
Group:Martyn, Richard, Roger and Dave J.
The weather today was marginally better than expected! We started of in very warm and humid conditions and ended the walk in hot sunny energy sapping conditions, but at least it didn't rain! This relatively low level walk was a little more challenging than expected, much of the walk required much looking to where the next foot should be placed and that was without Dave J. short cuts! This walk in the remote Rhinogs proved to be an understatement! First we met the Carnarfon branch of the Ramblers (and one member knew Richard!), then another party of about 8, two more pars of walkers and finally a couple who, like us had seldom ever seen other walkers! thanks to Dave J. eventually we did take one short cut that was beneficial to our weary legs and hot feet and the overall walk was kept to under 14 miles!
Nature wise the best sighting was two Hares, although Richard's Common frig cane a close second!
Birds seen or heard today included: Willow warbler, Chaffinch, Great spotted woodpecker, Blue tit, Coal tit, Long-tailed tit, Canada goose, Common sandpiper, Grey heron, Carrion crow, Nuthatch, Treecreeper, Stonechat, Wheatear and Robin.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Cholomeney Arms at Cadol. Some of us even enjoyed a Boggart brew that had ginger in it!
