Railway bridge over the access track to the tunnel vent of Blaenau tunnel on the Llandudno Jn to Blaenau Ffestiniog line.

The northern tunnel portal, totally overgrown and framed by a 3m high wall.

Fynhadog Uchaf. This looks like an old quarry site and has its own little bridge over the Afon Lledr.


A roche moutonée, glacially eroded rock slab on the side of Moel Dyrnogydd. Moel Siabd in cloud beyond.

Stile, cows, Ysgafell Wen ridge.

The northern of the two vents of Blaenau tunnel. The tunnel is about 120m below.


Moel Siabod with a little less cloud.

Moel Dyrnogydd, the gatepost of Crimea pass.

Unidentified Flying Object. Sings loud and is very fond of sitting right on the edge of the cliff.


Welsh Black freely roaming the open hillside.

A meadow in the Ceunant Ty'n y Ddol valley.

This page shows my own views down the hillsides of Wales, not those of my employer. Does anyone really think the College is paying me to go walking?!?
