| Title | Above Lluest Abercaethon The somewhat derelict fields around the disused farmstead of Lluest Abercaethon, seen bottom left, give way to rougher hillside. Craig Goch reservoir can be seen in the distance. It is about to receive a topping up; rain isn't far away. |

High up on Esgair Crawnllwyn As is common around here, some of the best grazing is to be found fairly high up on the side of the ridge.

The ridge of Esgair Crawnllwyn Not far off the crest of the ridge, and the good grazing of lower down has given way to rougher stuff.

Dodgy under snow though. The gently sloping hillside runs up to Trumau. I doubt I have ever experienced moorland as flat as this. As the Stranglers put it - "only country where the clouds are interesting".
