Rock and heather from the Taith Ardudwy The Taith Ardudwy path descends through this very rough but splendid cleft of rock and heather.
Care was needed today because the man-eating bracken covered the path and the marker posts - and almost us as well!.
There are some well hidden goats in this picture, no problem with the terrain for them.
