Before even getting to the start, the day commenced with a "stop off" at a gate to trim the under(over)growth that almost prevented me from going that way a week earlier.
24 of us gathered in Tremadog square where the option was given to walk about 10.5 miles or 8.7. All decided without any hesitation to go for the full Monty. (Sorry Vicky, I assumed that Guto had told you!).
At the end of the first leg, along the incline up to Penmorfa, we were met by "number 25".
The only real ascent of the day brought us to a coffee halt with great views over the coast and a visit from two pink nosed ponies.
A short distance on and Ifor gave the first of his interesting history lessons relating to the site of Gesail Gyfarch, while standing on a conveniently placed trailer.
An easy walk along tracks and a minor road gave great  views of the Eifionydd "horseshoe" (Moel Hebog - Mynydd Craig Goch) but my offer to add this to the days walk was declined.
A short walk across a grassy field and bridge and then over a stone stile and we were treated to further interesting facts from Ifor. This related to the site at Clenenney.
From Golan, a couple of miles on the lanes led us through Ymwlch before we again took to the fields.
Passing Bryn Braich-y-Saint several of out number attempted in vain to inform a farmer that a cow was apparently in great distress but even after calling loudly around the farmyard and knocking on the farmhouse door, no one was around.
The next 'leg' along lanes afforded great views over the coast across to the Rhinog Range.
The final 'leg' of the day saw us crossing the fields towards Penrefellin where Ifor again treated us to interesting history, before following the track back to Penmorfa and the incline to Tremadog.
A 'debrief' outside the Fleece ended to day's walk.
