"Fancy a night out?" said Mark Jenkins.... For most people this means the pub, but for Mark this means camping or staying in a bothy, eating camp food, and laughing with a fire till we fall asleep.
Mark then announces how about Arenig Fawr? There's a bothy there that is meant to be good. So off we went.
From the car its a pleasant 30 minute walk to the bothy. A well defined path leads pretty much straight to it and it sits on the edge of a reservoir which is crystal clear...
Fire going and a good evening of cooking food and laughs....
The next morning we had this view to wake up to!
And we decided to set of for a walk up the mountain...What a fantastic decision this turned out to be...
Here's Mark sat on a rock that clearly belonged to a local raven...and he made sure to tell us both off in no uncertain terms!!
At the top is a memorial to some brave airmen who crashed into the side of this mountain in heavy fog while training in WWII.
There is a plaque, a photograph of them, and some pieces of the aircraft still there.
