Walk with Katie and the gang

A few weeks ago I had gone for a walk with my fairly new colleague Katie and her dog, and my slightly less new colleague Claire. And it was great! We thought we should do such things more often. And so it happened that I planned another walk with Katie. This time Claire was not available. We had also invited another colleague, Winnie, but she wasn't available either. But this time, her partner Grant would be there.

She wanted to do the loop through Cwm Bychan and past Llyn Dinas. Fine with me! And we agreed I would go to her house first, and we would car share from there. I had heard about her a cottage in was keen to see it.

I drove through the enchanting-looking misty landscape to the remote spot where she lives. I parked up where the rough track to her house starts. Katie was waiting for me. And we first went to her place for coffee. When we got through the door it was clear the dog, Skipper, remembered me from last time. I got lots of kisses! Which immediately made a good impression on Grant, Katie's partner.

First we had coffee and cake, and she showed me the house. It is the sweetest cottage imaginable! And the views are amazing. I think she won the lottery there.

In spite of the weather we kitted up and headed for our walk. We started at the lake, and went anti-clockwise. Beddgelert was very quiet on this grey November day! And it rained when we were heading up Cwm Bychan. But it was a beautiful atmospheric walk. And then we drove back and had some more hot beverages.

It was a lovely day! Next time should be near my place. Katie wanted to see the Carneddau. That can be arranged!
