The path you took from the Drygarn Fawr cairns down over Dalrhiw to the hard track at the bottom of the valley was my favourite bit of running; soft, springy and gently downhill for a couple of miles, I used to love just blasting down there. Back in the days when I could "blast" ��.
This Sunday on my bike ride I was in the forestry above the Irfon valley (above the Devils staircase) looking across at Drygarn which was very close, reminding me of many happy times spent in those hills and some events we used to put on there.
A lovely part of the world Moley. Mondays outing was more of a walk than run and I was carrying a small backpack. I jogged down that path and as I did so I decided that the next time I am in Mid Wales I am going to run up it to Drygarn just so I can turn around at the top and go "blasting down" it.

I could see why it was a favourite of yours.
