Carn-y-Geifr

Round Cairn

From the upper of Graig Ddu's trio of similar monuments.... the 'cairn of the goats' can be made out a little to the right of the light show.

No idea why it's associated with goats, though.........	Posted by GLADMAN 1st May 2020ce


I miss this place. I found Hafod stone pair a very interesting site too, just a bit further along the ridge to the West of the rainbow, just out of shot here.	Posted by cerrig 2nd May 2020ce


Yeah. I was actually intending to visit those last year but my shins were a bit dodgy on the day, so diverted to Gro Hill instead.... still on the list. What was your route?	Posted by GLADMAN 2nd May 2020ce


I've posted a Google Earth map with one route up onto the crest. You could head South West from Drum DDu to get there too. There is a standing stone and several fine cairns on the route I've shown, plus a few hidden away further South West. Don't take any notice of Clwyd Powys map references for these. I think they made them up in the pub.	Posted by cerrig 2nd May 2020ce


I should have said that you drive up from Llanwrthll as far as the tarmac will go before it turns into a rough track, now almost impassable thanks to our offroading friends. This is a good base for Y Gamriw and Gorllwyn too.	Posted by cerrig 2nd May 2020ce


Have you ever wandered up from Cwm Chwefri?	Posted by GLADMAN 3rd May 2020ce


No I haven't. Those holiday cottages there look inviting. A good base for exploring.	Posted by cerrig 3rd May 2020ce
