| On the tramway |
We’ve climbed many of the most famous mountains in Wales but
our route up to the modest summits of Moel Yr Hydd and Moelwyn Mawr, is definitely
up there with the best. Taking the derelict tramway from Tanygrisiau, our climb
rewarded us with stunning views over Blaenau Ffestiniog and the excitement of a
short scramble through the tunnel. The poignant
relics of an industrial past defined the walk; our recreational journey made through
a starkly beautiful landscape, shaped in recent history by men who had literally
worked themselves into an early grave. It
was a humbling experience for us all.
