Day 3: Penhros Isaf Bothy – Builth Wells (1/3)
113 km / 1958 m
The bothy experience! I think we all had the worst night’s sleep of the whole trip, but still super happy to have made the stop.
Pros:
Cons:
We packed up our gear and rolled down through a beautiful forest and into Dolgellau – a ridiculously cozy town where we had our well deserved full english. This one was probably the best of the whole trip. We had a few cups of coffee as we charged ourselves and our phones, procrastinating slowly towards departure.
Our hesitance to get going turned out to be well justified, as we headed straight into a wall of a climb followed by a busy main road. This turned out to be our one bad experience with traffic in Wales, but after an hour or so, we finally got onto a B-road heading into Machynlleth. We had lunch on a lawn as the weather turned sunny. Moral was creeping north again after the traffic slap in the morning, and we got going, climbing steadily to ditch the hedges and start enjoying the views.
