I parked at the car park for the Aber Falls and walked up to the waterfall. Here there is a bridge over the river which put me on the North Wales Path which I followed over another bridge below the Rhaeaedr Bach and across the Afon Gam before leaving it and heading up the valley of the latter. This is a pretty rough place, waste deep everywhere in ferns but there are little paths to be found. I found one well to the right to the stream and another mostly on its left on the return. As I reached the top I had the lovely sight of a local farmer on the slopes of Drosgl wokring his dogs to round up and move his sheep. He was a friendly soul and stopped for a chat just as I reached the path shown on the may that contours Moel Wnion before heading up to the gap between Drosgl and Gyrn Wigau. I followed it to the latter gap and detoured off it to the top of the latter hill, the latter stage a pleaant stroll with almost no climbing. Back to the path which I followed round and part way up Drosgl leaving it again to collect the latter summit. From here a short down and up took me to the rocky castle of Bera Bach which is an easy scramble up. By this point I was in thick mist with very limited visibility and it was a little tricky to find the next target, the rather bigger rocky castle that was Bera Mawr. THis is also an easy enough scramble to the top but you wouldn't think so at first glance and a little epxloring is needed to find the easy way up. The satisfaction of this nice little scramble was marred by the ocean of wet slippery boulders that surrounded it on all sides. DOWn the same way skipping the detours to Drosgl and Gyrn Wigau.
