North Wales - Day 6

Today's walk was along the Mawddach Trail, an old railway track that goes between Dolgallau and Barmouth.

First we drove in cars and parked in Dolgellau. We had a walk round town and a coffee in a cafe. We then caught the 11.20 bus to Barmouth, which was free!

At Barmouth we started walking, first crossing beside the current railway bridge at the mouth of the estuary.


We then sat and had lunch overlooking the water.

It was a flat walk, in total about nine miles. Two miles from the end is the George the Third pub, where we stopped for a drink.


A toll bridge crosses the estuary at this point.


When we got back into Dolgellau we went to the Torrent Walk Hotel for a drink with Neil, Pete and Jenny. We then got our lifts back to the campsite.

After getting ready to go out, we arranged taxis for us all to go to the Cross Foxes for dinner. Scott had roast pork loin and Shirley had roast beef.

We gave Liz and Toby presents for organising the weekend.


After dinner we got taxis back to the site and had guests round to our picnic table again.
