Geo-Trips :: A quick stroll amongst the Teifi Pools

Teifi pools

A walk from the end of the hydro road, Sat, 7 Jan 2012 by Rudi Winter

After a first week of the year which was a total wash-out, I wanted to get at least a short stroll in, so had an hour's ramble to west of Llyn Egnant. A stiff northwesterly was chasing heavy rain clouds, and the light was soon fading. Not much of a walk, but at least out for a moment!

On the map below, the grey line is the GPS track from this trip. Click the blue circles to see a photograph taken from that spot and read further information about the location. The blue lines indicate the direction of view. There is also a slideshow of this trip. ( )
