Maen Lila rock

Tuesday: After Ystradfellte valley I had an easy climb onto the next ridge west 'Fan Dringarth'. Guide book directed me to steer south west from here but I walked south along the ridge line for a while hoping to see a path west into the next valley.

Such a contrast to when I was walking last Autumn when there were bogs everywhere. Towards the bottom of the valley walked over 'Sarn Helen' Roman road. 200 yards further passed the huge rock in the photographs called Maen Lila. It appeared to a classic glacial erratic but the legend explains that it was put up by early man.Read more
