• 56a Arch above Devil's Bridge

    Tuesday

    Lazy start today because tent was wet from overnight rain and no need to rush. After packing called in at the Woodlands campsite café for light breakfast of tea, beans on toast and a welsh cake ... of course.

    Because I had walked to The Arch yesterday, today I started walking the B4574 back to The Arch with the hope of hitching a lift. Sure enough, I get a lift for the last mile, saving me 25 minutes of walking.

    Today was the first time I wore my new 'shortie' gaiters. They were recommended to me by my Barmouth Walking Festival friend Clive who has been using them for years. They were a complete success. They saved me 30 - 40 minutes every evening picking seeds out of my boots and socks.
