An open ended walk with the main target of the new 500m summit of Moelfre, a grand hill forming an isolated outlying spur of the South Western Rhinogydd.
The route follows the splendid riverside path from Tal-y-bont along the Afon Ysgethin to Pont Fadog and leaves it for a good track through pastoral land to ascend Moelfre from the south.
Like the last trip to the South West Mawddach on which I suffered a bad fall and gashed my eye socket – now healing remarkably well – this was another trip allowing for up to three days but soon curtailed. An ongoing ankle problem became considerably worse on the final steep ascent, also walking performance seemed to have nosedived again to really worrying levels. Assessing the possibilities at the pitch, we decided that none of our route ideas would be happening this time and the only feasible option was to retrace the route back to Tal-y-bont.
