Our first full day at Pen Y Ffrith saw us out for a walk. We had found some pamphlets showing us some of the walks in the area and so we decided to go and explore. Loaded up with lunch, warm clothes and jackets ( the weather here can be very changeable) we set off along the track that runs close to the reservoir. This Alwen Reservoir was built in 1905 and used as part of the local water supplies. The track we decided to walk links onto yet another reservoir Lyn- Brenig creating a circular track of 15km. It said 2-3 hours but by the time we stopped for photos, enjoyed our lunch and spent time in the visitor centre at Lyn-Brenig we were the best part of five hours. The track was well formed in most parts and mostly flat so it wasn't too arduous. In saying that we were very pleased to get back to our 'cottage'. There are lots of other walks in the area including some archeology ones, and more adventurous ones into the Snowdonian mountains but these will have to wait until next time.
