Walking the Mawddach Trail


Yep you read it right, I walked this one!  I recently changed jobs and invited some workmates and friends to join me walking the Mawddach trail to Barmouth.  This trail is about 20 miles there and back, with some lovely scenery, it is extreemely flat but has the opportunity to see some great wildlife and you couldn't ask for a better half way stop than Barmouth.

As always here are the Pictures:

Dolgellau Car Park
WARNING
do not park here, go to the bottom left hand side towards
the cricket ground and there is a long stay car park for half the price
funnily enough the signs for it are only in welsh... but this carpark has
English signs...
