Travelogue

Checked out of the B&B in Merthyr Tydfil and drove (often on two-way, one-lane, twisty roads with tall hedges on both sides and no visibility) to a car park,

then walked 1-1/2 miles up the road


(moderately steep, bleakly scenic, quite windy)

to Llyn y Fan Fach, a glacial cirque lake that now has a small dam controlling its level. The dam is unnecessary at the moment, as Wales has been in what passes for drought conditions for several weeks and the lake was quite low.




But the mountains surrounding it are amazing. We’re tired now.

Sleeping in Llandeilo tonight, visiting two medieval castles tomorrow before driving into Pembrokeshire.
