Wild Walks Wales : The Precipice Walk
http://wildwalkswales.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-precipice-walk.html
Sunday, 1 December 2013. Walking at Llyn Cynwch in the autumn. This is one of the nicest ways of spending an hour or so if you're in the Dolgellau area. I just love the gentle paths alongside the calm waters of Llyn Cynwch, where the roots of ancient trees - oak, ash, rowan, alder - are reflected in the shining levels. Trees at Llyn Cynwch on the Precipice Walk. Lovely reflections on the lake. The view from Llyn Cynwch to the north west, to the mountain of Rhobell Fawr in the Arenig range. Olivia Abbott ...

Wild Walks Wales : The Scale of Things...
http://wildwalkswales.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-scale-of-things.html
Sunday, 1 December 2013. The Scale of Things. I've just moved this post from my old Wordpress blog, as I think it's worth keeping out there for walkers to read:. So, now is your chance to learn something about maps. Today we’re going to look at the scale of maps, and the bewildering variety of maps available to buy. The 1:50,000 scale is one of the most commonly used scales in mapping in the UK. The others that we tend to use a lot for walking are 1:25,000 (so everything on the map is 25,000 times sm...

Wild Walks Wales : The Hirnants
http://wildwalkswales.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-hirnants.html
Sunday, 1 December 2013. The Hirnant hills are really an extension of the western side of the Berwyn mountains. However, I always think they are sufficiently set apart from the Berwyn to be thought of as worthy of the hillwalkers' attention in their own right. Arenig Fawr from Moel y Cerrig Duon. Y Berwyn from Foel Cwm Sian Llwyd. Heading towards the summit of Foel Cwm Sian Llwyd. The summit of Moel y Cerrig Duon. The view down to Lake Vyrnwy from Moel y Cerrig Duon. Moel y Cerrig Duon.

Wild Walks Wales : December 2013
http://wildwalkswales.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 10 December 2013. A very successful weekend. Last weekend I held a map and compass course. Well, actually a National Navigation Award Scheme Silver training and assessment course. The venue for this was the Berwyn range, and the course candidates made the most of the superb walking in the area, whilst also learning the required skills at Silver level. So, by the end of the weekend they'd all climbed Craig Rhiwarth, Y Clogydd, and skirted around Post Gwyn quite a bit! So, where are we? Crib Goch,...
