This really is an excellent description, Rachel. Thank you very much. I wrote out your instructions and they were invaluable. So good, in fact, that I omitted also looking at the map after the footbridge on the ascent up the stream gully. It really is very eaay to go wrong here...and I did. After some yomping across bog towards a fence on the skyline, with difficulty, we crossed a stream not mentioned in your description (Camddwr) and the penny dropped. A look at the map and compass got us back to the correct fence. It's a superb walk and your description made it much easier for us to wayfind, I'm only mentioning my mistake as a warning to others not to underestimate its difficulty - and check where you are on your map! We didn't see anyone all day, on an exceptionally dry August Sunday.
