      Día 84

      Tal-y-Bont, Conwy

      12 de agosto de 2023, Gales ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Haben hier eine Woche einen sehr praktischen Stellplatz an der Straße genutzt. Nichts besonderes, aber direkt gegenüber von Ritas und Evas Cottage und für unsere gemeinsame Woche genau richtig.

      Check point 39

      23 de junio de 2022, Gales ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Today continued much as yesterday, up Peaks Carnedd Gwenllian, Foel Fras 3091’/942m, Drum 2526’/770m and Tal Y Fan 2000’/610m. Going was far more pleasant ground than first part of yesterday as it continued to be over grass. All peaks were easy enough except the last, Tal Y Fan 2000’/610m (check point 39). The Bwlch before it Bwlch y Ddeufaen was particularly low at 1378‘/420m so I had a 622’/189m ascent. I was so tired by now that this took me an hour. I had also run out of water mid afternoon so was feeling parched.

      After Tal y Fan it was downhill to Mean Penddu, a stone sticking out of the ground that probably had superstitious significance in ages past. This was my last objective for today on the ridge. From here I turned right/south east to descend towards my accommodation for the next couple of nights, Cefn Cae Camping site in Rowen. I soon passed over a stream so was excited to be able to fill the Grayl water filter bottle and have my first drink for 2:30. On the map the descent looked like a straightforward couple of miles downhill, initially over grassed fields full of sheep, then along a road. Disappointingly, after a glorious 5 days, it began to rain as I was about half way down. As a result I had to pitch in the rain. Surprisingly for a formal campsite, I was only able to push in pegs about half way. The long ascent to Tal y Fan had also put me behind, what I thought was, an easy schedule so I was rushing to make my dinner date of 8pm at the Ty Gwyn Hotel next door to the campsite. Having pitched my tent I threw in my rucksack in the hope the rain would cease. As luck would have it, when I returned from the pub, it had stopped raining so I was able to set up the rest of my pitch in the dry.

      I received a friendly welcome in the Ty Gwyn (White house), great fish & chips and a couple of Ciders.

      Día 33

      Day 32 Conwy to Rowen

      30 de junio de 2023, Gales ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      Friday : Up 06:30, away 09:30. I thought I would be away earlier without the need to strike camp, but not wanting to disturb the other 3 chaps in my shared room had delayed my departure. Yesterday, I had spotted a church that had a 10:00 service this morning. I had considered going to this before leaving Conwy because on Sunday, I will be on top of the Carnedd mountain range, so unable to attend a service. I decided against attending to get to next campsite earlier and pitch before forecast rain. I later regretted this because I arrived at site in good time and the forecast rain did not materialise.

      Once at Conwy castle I made the final of the 4 left turns I will make on my odyssey, this time southwards. Cambrian Way will be the hardest part of my journey at 298 miles and total ascent similar to Everest. All the walking up until Conwy has been training for this.

      First mile was along a pleasant seaside path then over a railway bridge before beginning ascent up Conwy mountain. Wind was strong in my face all the way up, prompting me to don my jacket. I was making surprisingly swift progress, passing 10 people on this stretch. As I crossed Sychnant pass a dozen cars were parked having presumably delivered people to walk up Conwy mountain. Next was a lonely walk up and down Maen Esgob where I met Ally and her Bulgarian dog. She was born nearby, moved as a child to Leigh-on-sea Essex but missed County Conwy so much that as soon as she could drive she moved back. Unusual to meet a southern accent, most people I met are from the north west or Midlands.

      A couple of miles further, I arrived at Maen Penddu - a huge stone - where I left the Cambrian Way to begin my descent to Cefn Cae campsite. Expensive at £20 including showers, but high quality facilities block, level neatly mown grass and owner Gwyn sought out a chair and folding table for me when I asked if there was a picnic table I could pitch near. They used to have picnic tables, but guests had set them on fire with their Barbecues! While pitching nearby campers Una and John invited me for tea and busicuits which I accepted as sun was shining. I have met so many friendly people on this trip and this was another example.

      9 miles from Conwy to Rowen completed at end of 32nd day of walking and 1st on Cambrian Way.
      Total miles so far : 335
      Average speed : 2.1 mph
      Weather overcast all day, strong wind, intermittent showers.
      Number of people passed : 12

      Day 33 Rowen to Drum

      1 de julio de 2023, Gales ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

      Saturday : Up 08:30, away 10:45. Reached Cambrian Way at Mean Penddu rock 12:30 to resume walk south. Strong westerly wind hit me as soon as I crested the ridge. Surface was mostly grass, much of it worn to the soil and occasional small rocks. Hard work against the wind ascending first Tal-y-Fan, Foel Lwyd then very steep drop to Roman road at Bwlch y Ddeufaen followed by ascent to Drum. Foel-fras was to be my next and last objective of the day but wind was unbelievably strong, too much for tent pitching. Instead decided to descend to the east to Dulyn Bothy. In the lee of the ridge wind stopped within a few minutes as I descended. There was no route from the direction I was approaching so it was a hard 1.25 miles over rough ground that took 90 minutes.

      Arrived at the Bothy same time as a party of 3 friends. They decided to pitch their tents beside the lake that was a couple of hundred yards up hill, then came to the Bothy to cook supper. Another party of 3 pitched a couple of hundred yards downhill a short while later. Then a third party of 3 from Leeds arrived and joined me in the Bothy - so I didn't have it to myself in the end. About 10pm, a few minutes after retiring 1 more chap appeared in the Bothy for the night. He had been on the ridge but had found it very cold, so retreated to the warmth of the Bothy.

      9 miles from Rowen to Dulyn Bothy completed at end of 33rd day of walking and 2nd on the Cambrian Way.
      Total miles so far : 344
      Average speed : 1.3 mph
      Weather : rain overnight and in the morning with strong wind. The wind continued all day and kept temperature sufficiently cool for me to wear jacket and overtrousers all day. Wind was strong enough to halt me and push me over at times.
      Number of people passed : 10
      Objective tomorrow : YHA Idwal      Leer más
