Aran Fawddwy

A couple of weekends ago we decided on a Friday afternoon that we'd go to Wales for the weekend walking. We phoned the Wynnstay in Machynnleth and they had a room for 2 nights so we were off! We decided to hike up Aran Fawdwy. Living in the shadow of its more famous neighbour Cadair Idris, Aran Fawdwy actually stands a fraction taller. The weather was beautiful, not a cloud in the sky and very warm for mid September.

 
















Near to the summit my foot was hurting. Fearing a blister I whimped out of the last 15 minutes to the top, as we'd chosen a demanding route down. Demanding was an understatement! I would call it rock climbing (or rock descending), but we made it down safely and the day gave us a great appetite for the dinner awaiting us at the Wynsnstay.
