111. Pen-y-Castell, 3rd September, 2016

Today was a utterly filthy day so I decided to settle for a tiny, easy hill just for the sake of doing some kind of hill and picked Pen-y-Castell, a rather insignificant satellite of Drum that somehow makes it into the ranks of the Nuttalls. The trickiest bit is probably the drive, up a very steep, narrow road from Tal-y-Bont, not very generously endowed with places to pass. Happily not much came the other way. The road runs out below Penygadair where there is a car park and a nice wee bench dedicated to one Rosemary Roche 1923-1998. RIP Rosemary whoever you are. I followed the path west until just north of Tal-y-Bwlch where I followed a wall up the slope on my right. When it turned left I had to climb over it but this was easy enough and then on through the mist and rain to the top. Someone has constructed a queer little artwork here piling up some stones on a little rocky bit. I visited various spots hereabouts any of which might have been the top before heading back more or less the way I came though I managed to avoid having to clamber over any walls and so back to my and spent the rest of the afternoon drinking coffee and reading a book in the pleasantly awrm and dry Moel Siabod Café in Capel Curig.
