Three great days in Barmouth

Barmouth is known as Birmingham on sea - when the railway was built Birmingham residents came for their seaside holiday.  It is a typical British seaside town but has such a fabulous setting, with Caider Idris dominating the skyline.

Our first walk took us up onto the Panorama walk above the town for the views.

We then took off up a long, long track steadily climbing up the side of the valley. Eventually we reached the top and could see our destination way in the distance and also spotted a buzzard.

After a cold stop for lunch we started our descent. The way markers were few and far between. We found tracks using the Viewranger app so made it down to a proper footpath. We tried to keep off the main road for the last few miles back to Barmouth but again lost sight of the way markers. We knew the general direction and walked through one field not realising until we had got out that this bull was in there!

12.3 miles we did today and boy do my feet feel it.
