The path past Ty'n-yr-Aelgerth
A descriptive name (the house in the...), but I don't know what it means.

Ty'n yr Aelgerth
One of the few inhabited houses left in Cwm Brwynog, a valley which has suffered wholesale depopulation since the 1950s. The green lane leads up over Maesgwm to the Snowdon Ranger YH on the shores of Llyn Gwynant. The mountain in the background, with the landslip scar, is Moel Cynghorion.

The Maesgwm Track contouring along the slopes of the Aelgerth
The valley on the left is that of Afon Arddu, which has its source in Cwm Du'r Arddu high on Snowdon. The sunlit tree at the foot of Moel Cynghorion is at Helfa Fawr, which in 2000 was still a roofless ruin.

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).

Looking down on the Rifle Range (dis)
How long since bullets were fired here? It was certainly a safe location for it.
