Building site above Ty'n-y-Groes A public footpath from Ty'n-y-Groes starts as a track passing one house before ending at this point where building work is going on. The path continues into a field on the photographer's left.

Fenceline above Ty'n-y-Groes The public footpath from Ty'n-y-Groes towards Glyn Uchaf crosses a stile into a field and becomes very vague - the mapping on my GPS seemed to indicate that it came up here and then turned left to cross the stream further north than is actually the case (and as is shown on more modern maps online). Needless to say, a retreat and search soon revealed the correct route, but most of the sheep in the field seemed to find my venture very interesting and accompanied me up to this point. Since the path seemed little used, perhaps they expect no-one to venture here except those carrying handy bags of sheep nuts...

Footpath in the woods below Glyn-bach This is a perfectly pleasant public footpath, rendered unpleasant by the sheer number of signs demanding that the footpath be adhered to and dogs kept on leads - a self-defeating tactic that simply encourages people to react by wondering what you've got to hide that justifies all that expense and aggravation and no doubt in some cases causes them to go looking or to venture off the path just out of sheer annoyance. Can't say I blame them. I didn't have time...

Autumnal oak above Pont Rhyd-Lydan By this time of year, the sun is getting low by twenty past three, and the light catches the autumn colours of this tree by the lane down to Pont Rhyd-Lydan nicely.

Autumnal lane north of Rowen It's not obvious from the map that this is a right of way, except in that a public footpath starts from it, and is accessible no other way.
