Trumau Flat, wet and tussocky. There is a path of sorts near here, but it is largely used by horses and is a bit cut up. There is a summit near here, but who knows where?

304 mPwll Nant-ddu The name and marsh symbols are a little worrying, but this area of peat bog is not too terrifying. There are bits worth avoiding, and it is easy to walk around them. 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".
