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.

Sandbank to Benarth Looking along the edge of the deeper water channel towards the wooded shore of Benarth. The curves of the river valley result in the apparent closure of the exit and no open water is to be seen, although the sunlit slopes of the Great Orme can be seen over the Cob. Wind and shallow water turned out to be the greatest navigation problem on this leg of my voyage.
