Rounding at Ddaullt (1)
Heading for Porthmadog from Blaenau Ffestiniog on the Ffestiniog railway around the spectacular Dduallt spiral formation (unique on a public railway in the United Kingdom). It was constructed with its bridge entirely by volunteers and gains an initial height rise of 35 feet (11 m) in order (after a further mile of new volunteer built railway and a new tunnel) to clear the flooded track bed.
The locomotive is David Lloyd George.
