Bwlch Bach a'r Grib

Cairn(s)

Fieldnotes

Another of those cairns stumbled across where I couldn't decide if it was a walker's cairn or - for want of a better word - the 'real' thing.

Experience suggested the latter, although to be honest this place, overlooking the remnants of the old Welsh Castell Dinas (which I must say looks rather 'hillforty' to these eyes) and the fabulous Cwm Rhiangoll, doesn't really need any man-made construction to freak out the traveller. Nevertheless, I'm glad it is still here. Very glad indeed.

The cairn surmounts the 'last but one' summit of a fabulous, narrow grassy ridge know as Y Grib which provides an excellent route to the high summits of The Black Mountains, rising to 2,660ft at Waun Fach.
