Forest track in Big Wood, Cwm Nant-y-Meichiaid

We thought this was the public right of way from the bend at Cwm Nant - it isn't - we took the wrong path - this one ended in the field which is the light at the end of the tunnel in this picture.

Looking down into Cwm Nant-y-Meichiaid

A look back into this loveliest of quiet and hidden valleys deep in rural Montgomeryshire. This is effectively nowhere, and that valley is the middle of it. There are a few places like that around here. The hilltops, undulate for miles and navigation, even for experienced map-readers can still be a little confusing. And I live here. The twin hills are unnamed as far as the map goes, but lie just south of Craignant Mawr.

Ash tree in bwlch between two minor tops

Ash trees are magical. Just go and touch this one to find out. Hidden from the rest of humanity except those braving this rarely walked path below Moel Llaethbwlch.

Trackway to Craignant-mawr

An extremely peaceful area - a lot of our walked covered the endless lanes and we only saw one car all day - the postman. Moel Llaethbwlch behind the photographer.

Moel Llaethbwlch

When I first glanced at the map, without my reading glasses, I read it as Moel Llaethbuwch. This as a name far more prosaic in that it would have meant Milky Cow Hill. Milk Pass Hill a good second place. This hill at 1,190ft stands proud of the many local bumps. Strangely, there is a spot height of 348 metres slightly northwest and below the summit.

Entrance to Felin Cadwnfa

Now here is a quiet place. With Nant y Pandy on its journey towards Vyrnwy passing under the road on left of picture.

Rambo on the road

So little traffic passes this road between Ebeneezer Adgyweiriwyd and Felin Cadwnfa that this ram could call the lane his home. The ram however was terribly meithered by an injury to its ear. I trust his diligent farmer would pick this up and treat it.

Lane above Penarlas

Very little to photograph of interest in this grid square, especially given the dearth of open and accessible footpaths. We walked 10 miles of hill and lane this day and found only one footpath sign. This bit of lane typical of our day. We only had 3 miles to go at this point.

Track to somewhere

We couldn't even glean from the ordnance survey or later via an internet search just where this track goes to. Not wanting to trespass, it would seem to be an agricultural building. It could just be the highly secretive Supreme Headquarters of the Alien Defence Organisation(SHADO). Then again it might just be a big shed. But hey, it's in grid square SJ115. Enjoy.
