The information board next to Mary Jones' home when she set off bare foot at the age of fifteen to walk to Bala to get a Bible.
Thankfully we don't have to do that to get a Bible in a language that we can read!

On the summit of Craig-y-llyn or very close to it!

The weather forecast was spot on, warm and sunny until lunch, clouding over after lunch with a superb cooling breeze and light showers between 3 and 4 p.m.
The views throughout the walk were superb, looking up and down the valley, looking across towards Cadair Idris, looking to the coast towards Barmouth and the view of the day was probably looking towards Craig-y-llyn from Tyrrau Mawr.
We lost Richard soon after heading up towards the summit of Craig-y-llyn, but thankfully he was in the car when we arrived back at Llanfihangel-y-Pennant.
The descent from the ridge wasn't particularly easy for us, but I don't think Richard's route was any better either!
After walk drinks were enjoyed as always at the Cholomendey Arms at Cadole where the beer of choice today was the Woodlands Brewery's " Old Faithful".
