The A470 heading north

Between Ganllwyd SH7224 and Trawsfynydd NG8963 : On Drochaid a'Ghorm Locha is one of the very few long, straight stretches of the A470. Although high speed is not recommended, this is one of the more tempting sections. Here the road is nearing the end of its long (200m+) but gentle climb from Dolgellau: over the brow ahead it remains almost level until the rather more messy descent to Ffestiniog. The A470 is the main road running (roughly) north/south through mid-Wales, connecting Cardiff and Llandudno. In recent years the Welsh Assembly have clearly recognised its importance, as many of the worst sections have been significantly improved.

Rhinog Fach and Rhinog Fawr viewed from Sarn Helen

The two mountains are of almost equal height, with Fach (small) on the left at 712 metres and Fawr (large) at 720 metres on the right. The forestry at Graigddu-isaf lies in front of the mountains.

Sarn Helen and Craig y Penmaen

Thankfully, the rule of Roman roads being dead straight was not followed here, as that would have taken it over the summit of the rocky hill!

Milestone beside Sarn Helen

As I passed by this gave the impression of being a milestone but I wasn't inclined to clear the snow to check. Thankfully, Ieuan Tomos passed this way before and recorded the stone in better conditions. 'Dolgelley 9 Miles'. Link. I wonder if it still carries the Anglicized spelling of Dollgellau?
