The good thing with ancient structures up here is that they are made of stone and so different stages of history can be seen all around you such as farm steads and sheep traps and this fantastic peat hut which could have been utilized for hundreds of years and still remains on the whole intact. A peat hut is identified by its construction as having a narrow oblong shape, having gaps all around it and large slabs of stone placed as a roof first one way then the other to keep the rain out but lets the air in to dry out the peat. Peat has been dug up here for centuries and used as fuel. Only the rich could afford coal.
We crossed the bridge and walked down to Jubilee walk and followed the path back round to Dwygyfylchi back to the car.
I have had an excellent day today we've probably covered more than 11 miles in all. I can't wait to go again. My Dad has told me loads interesting things today and I've learnt a lot.
To top it all Gezzy text earlier and said he had a pressie for me. He'd bought me gators.....chuffed to bits I am, what a Darlin'.
