Barmouth

Friday 14th September.
As forecast was rain until mid afternoon rose late, sauntered into town for brunch, then in library pouring over OS map and books about Barmouth history. Forecast for next few days was for storm Helene from the Atlantic so resolved to go home tomorrow and return another day.

When library closed for lunch ambled around town. In an art gallery was asked if I was in Barmouth for the walking festival. "What walking festival?" I replied. After learning details thought this seemed a better use of time than going home, so decided to stay another night and give festival a try. If weather improved I could then resume Cambrian Way later in the week.

When rain stopped around 5pm spent an hour reconnoitring start of next section of Cambrian Way which took me high over Barmouth into the hills East of the town. Photographs are from walk around harbour then, as I ascended, of views down to Barmouth.

I ended up staying the entire 10 days of the walking festival then going home because weather never improved. I have logged the week separately as 'Barmouth Walking Festival 2018'.

This ended up being my last time on the Cambrian Way in 2018. My next section of the walk was to be in 2019.Baca lagi
