Tyn Connel bunkhouse weekend

Well - a wonderful bunkhouse with excellent facilities but weather of a mixed nature (from torrential downpour to bright sunshine)!

Thomas and I spend a variously wet and dry Saturday tramping over a variety of both challenging and beautiful terrain. As he said to me "People don't do this usually do they?!" Perhaps they should! The 20km route took in a good variety of upland and lowland walking and the New Inn pub in the village of Llandewi Brefi is a must for the hungry traveler with great food and a friendly (predominantly Welsh speaking) bunch of locals! I'd recommend it!

Getting the 4x4 over the rough track from Tyn Connel to the road to the East was a challenge so thanks to the helpful electric pump provided by the local 4x4 club who turned up in the rain just when they were needed most!

Christian spent a good and very chilled weekend reading and with his camera - no phones, no computers and just lots of wild place made even this insomniatic young man sleep!
