Ruined buildings below the Maesgwm bridleway

The bridleway from Snowdon Ranger station, over Bwlch Maesgwm and on down towards Llanberis is the subject of ongoing work, presumably to "smart bridleway" standard, with traffic lights and lane closures to regulate the high speed traffic which nowadays permeates Snowdonia. Perhaps not in this weather, though the small dumper truck being driven backwards a lot faster than we can walk is just one a bevvy of works vehicles working on drains, retaining walls and compacting the surface of the track and parking areas just off it. Two National Park Warden Landrovers were also prominent in their presence a long way from anything resembling a public road - maybe it was the only place they could find to park for free. The ruined buildings don't seem to be being converted into part of the Llanberis urban sprawl (yet).
