Weekly pics: round 40
These pictures are from our ascent of Cadair Idris, a Welsh 2930-foot mountain between Machynlleth and Dolgellau. As I want to get through the Welsh photos as quickly as possible (James has some new autumn ones he wants me to post), I'm putting up four pictures this week.
This is the start of the Cadair Idris trail. The first stage of the trek was through a steep wooded gill (that's English--Welsh is cwm). This region is so steep that a rough staircase has been cut into the rock.
The Nant Cwm Cadair flows through this rocky patch of ancient woodland, and is essentially one gigantic cascade down the entire gill. My brother took some stunning shots of the waterfalls on the way down. Here are three of the best.
