I 1st remember the concept of the traverse of the Rhinog being floated by this gentleman probably 20 years ago. Took a while to start exploring it, but Wednesday was a really nice day and so explored the north section for the 1st time. Not the fastest traverse, but this was about getting to know the area and what a fantastic area it is. If you have not visited you should, unless of course you don't like mountains.
This is rough ground, part of it are very rough. 10 miles in you know you have done 10 miles.
Some of the navigation after Clip is tricky (at least to get anything like an optimal route). Still great day and I feel the need for some further exploration. Mid week near the shortest day, of course I saw no one else.
Nothing like a view of Port Merion and the power station for a bit of context. Bus and train schedules do not make doing the whole traverse easy, more so in Winter.
