Bleak farmland In the rain, a boring sheep pasture is a wet boring sheep pasture. But this is what the land above the valley near Pant-y-resk is like.

Track to Graig Farm The track heads south further into the square. However, there was a motor cycle scrambling event at the farm and I had to reverse down the lane three times as lots of "white" vans were leaving and they weren't giving way. So here's the northern part of the square.
Nice walk in the fresh air. Autumn colours nearly all gone.
