I've just re-read my fieldnotes, there's certainly a lot of references to the streams, but also I notice that the mountains (Y Mynydd Du, not PyF) making an appearance made an impression.
It's probably not coincidence that the PyF can be seen from the row, but whether it's just a sort of "ooh, we can see PyF from here" or something more significant I guess we'll never know. What I do know is that whenever I see PyF from anywhere else it always makes the pulse race a little quicker, so perhaps it did the same for them.
