View towards Sycharth from Gyrn Molefre near Llanisilin I love the landscape out here; it has tons of fascinating history, geography, geology, ecology and variety.

Old dry stone wall on the Gyrn above Llansilin Somebody worked mighty hard up here to build that and now it has been superseded by fencing. Their labour is recognised by me. And saluted.

Old dry stone wall on the Gyrn above Llansilin looking east Lovely and very special views. 

I know this area somewhat, having walked through it several times, wild camped on some of its summits and studied it on maps and its history, but I want to know all its secrets and full history.
