Track leading down from Ffridd Wyllt towards Maesterran Farm Drizzle was falling here and there appeared to be heavier rain in the valley below. The farm track here somehow gave the impression of being of some antiquity and that proved to be the case as it is shown on the 1887 map. It is now a right of way down to Maesterran Farm and beyond.
