We would have one glorious day between storm Eowyn and the next very blowy (and rainy) day, so I figured I needed to take advantage of that. And one way of doing that would be go to Bwlch Cwm Llan after all.
There was a ‘Paned i’r Planed’ (cuppa for the planet) event in the community centre near me in the morning, so I went there first. I like supporting local initiatives having to do with climate and sustainability. So that meant I only had the afternoon, and although you can by now see where you're going at 5 pm, it still is only limited time. But to the pass is only 4 km, and the going is good, so that wasn't a problem.
As I had focused on speed the day before, I was going to take it easy this time and just enjoy the landscape. And that was very easy! It is so beautiful there. And I hadn't been in a long time.
I ran up in the low winter afternoon sun. I went to where you can look into, well, Cwm Llan. And then I turned back. By then the sun was behind the clouds, but that created dramatic skies for the way down. It was lovely! I might do it more often…
