Another busy weekend
I’ve had another busy weekend, whilst Anna, Morgan and Pat sheltered from the worst of the weather at home. Saturday was certainlly windy and rainy at times, and Steve nad I had a good days windsurfing here at Ynyslas.
As Anna’s mum (Pat) is here, we then made the most of the opportunity of some baby-sitting and went out for a meal on Saturday night. The nearby Rhydypennau Inn has recently been refurnished so we decided to try it out. Steve, Dave, Sarah, Anna and I all headed out and had a nice meal there. It was certainly much better than last time we went there, so no doubt we will return.
Sunday wasn’t as windy as Saturday and wasn’t forecast to be either so Steve and I headed of to Cadair Idris for some geocaching. We walked up the Minfford Path to Llyn Cau and found the first cache on the shores of the lake, before scaling the gulley at the NW of the cwm. Steve managed to scare himself a little on the climb, but was OK once out onto the path at the top. We then headed off into the winds and clouds of the summit where we took a bit of time to find the next cache. We did find it but it was pretty cold and inhospitable up there so we didn’t hang around for long.
From there we headed across the ridge to Moel Mynydd and our third cache of the day before descending a path there back to the car. All in all a good if exhausting day in the hills.
There are plenty of other geocaches on Cadair though so I’ll probably be retunring soon, especially now that I have some new walking boots!
