Thank you Yiannis, it was all a cunning plan to mentally help me through - I am not mad at allOriginally Posted by ydt
Speaking in Matt's defence, I will say that if you cannot see what comes next, you feel less intimidated.
I did look at the section from Milltir to Geifr once, a good 8 years ago and I remember it being hard but ok (in daylight), I'm sure there were some sheep about then and a few trods, I saw no sheep and little sign of grazing - but heard a lot of grouse which was compensation. I picked up the short trod from the top of Sian-Llwyd, which I remembered, but only as far as the footpath which disects the line. With the intense darkness it was impossible to pick up trods on sight, even when very close by.
I had never seen the next section from Geifre to the Bwlch, that was very slow navigating (for me) without visibility and I was very annoyed to make the silly mistake at the end and come out at 917229, I had hit the fenceline at about the 582 spotheight and rattled down to the road without checking the spur or bearing of the fence.
I was that frustrated by it all I nearly bought an GPS when I got home :w00t:
