Walk to Wrysgan mine.5

I am away now for a week, with luck I shall return with some new material.


Some caution required here.


Rugged track with a drain down the middle.


Set of steps coming into view.


A quick look back on the easy section.

Denbigh sun up.



Today's morning walk.

Walk to Wrysgan mine.3



Very low cloud.


Overflow.


Ruin of the miners barracks.


Bridge over the river. A couple of years ago the river was so high that the bridge was destroyed.

Walk to Wrysgan mine.2



The bridge has become dangerous so has been closed, this means a slight detour.


A large section of the bank has collapsed.


This shot shows very clearly why the bridge has been closed. However, when you consider that no concrete etc was used in it's construction it has lasted well.


Our destination at the moment is covered in low cloud, the forecast say's things will improve.

Spring flowers..



For anyone still waiting for Spring, from this mornings walk.

Walk to Wrysgan mine.


Today is the start of my walk which I completed last Tuesday. The mine is located on the left side of the Cwmorthin valley. I first visited in 2006.


I always like to start with my favorite subject, waterfalls.
