I'd had a decent afternoon's riding. Parked up near to Tywyn and followed the WRT route we'd used through Tonfanau and up over the hill to Dolgellau, passing the WRT shanty town site on the way. On the WRT we'd talked about the likelihood of a decent view down towards the Mawddach estuary on a better day - well this was a better day and the views were indeed spectacular - well worth the revisit.

After a spot of food and stocking up in Dolgellau, I meandered along the Mawddach Trail to one of the little picnic areas to settle down for the night. Didn't think I'd have any company on a Tuesday night.

The following morning a quick trip was planned into Barmouth for breakfast. Duly arrived outside the cafe, where there was a sign saying open at 9:00am, great I thought, that's not too far off. Glances at watch. 7:18am. Bollocks.
Back over the bridge and off to Dolgellau, into the wind this time. Breakfast done and it's into the woods again. This time up towards Dyfi, a long road climb and then back down through the trees.
