A hint of Autumnal colours.
One of the many magnificent views of Llyn Tegid and the Arrenigs.
Can't you see, it's this way Dave!
The mystery ridge - Cadair Idris.
On the superb high level access track from Cae'r hafotty to the Llangower road.

What a glorious day for walking this turned out to be. Mostly sunshine and very little wind. Still in shorts, and at times over-heating, and it's November!
In the morning Llyn Tegid was like a mirror and seeing the hills and sky reflected in the still water just takes the breath away.
This really was a day to gently stroll and take in the views, remembering what a privilege it is to be able to walk on days like this.

This was an up and down walk, but today the varied terrain and the views were reward enough for the efforts required on the upward sections.
Birds seen or heard today included: European robin, Great tit, Common buzzard, Bullfinch, Winter wren, Blackbird, Fieldfare, Black-billed magpie, Eurasian jay, Mistle thrush, Greater spotted woodpecker, Jackdaw, Carrion crow, Raven and House sparrow.
After walk drinks were enjoyed at the Bridge Inn at Pontybodkin, where the first pint of the Cottage brew went down well. Despite having a fleece on, I still looked longingly at the laid fire and wished that it had been lit!
