Monday 3rd June 2019 - Glasgwm GW/NW-015 & Aran Fawddwy GW/NW-007

From Glasgwm GW/NW-015, it looked a long and arduous walk, but in fact it was good going and most enjoyable.  On Aran Fawddry we again qualified with our handhelds, and both made S2S with John G4YSS operating GX0OOO/P on Stony Cove Pike G/LD-018.

The descent route completed a circular walk - and was spectacular.  After a briefly narrow ridge, the views opened out over a remarkable glacial valley and Jimmy was very busy taking photographs. 

It really was a great walk, a classic route.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.

We went out for dinner in a local pub - great!  We didn’t forget Late Night Liam on Canalside Radio 102.8 FM that night, from around 2215 BST.  We listened using the online stream.  The next activation on our trip would be Bryn Amlwg GW/MW-015.

One of the pubs was doing it's weekly "burger night".  This turned out to be superb, and included several sides and extra toppings that had to be chosen - like king prawns, spicy chicken wings, ribs, onion rigs, bacon, black pudding etc.  Just the job for two hungry walkers!
