Today was such a lovely warm sunny day that I thought I;d make the most of it and walk around the Orme. It was T-shirt weather all day and dozens of people were on the Orme doing the same thing. Starting from the West Shore I walked up the Monks Path and just stopped long enough to watch the work going on in Abbey Lodge. It seems that the foundations for the new building were well underway. Then downhill to the Rest and Be Thankful for a coffee and cake before setting off again for the Summit. I hadn't seen a goat until reaching the Cottage Loaf area and there I met a herd of about 40 of them just lying down in the sunshine. The Summit was busy and it was nice to see so many taking advantage of the good weather. Downhill from there to look at the Bronze Age Copper Mines,then the Cromlech Llety Y Filiast. I could see some activity going on at Mike's Golf Course so I went down the path to see him.
When I got there Mike (on L in photo) was legging it up to the top of the course and my knees wouldn't allow me to catch him up. Sorry Mike but I'll call again.
Down through the old terraces in Haulfre and only two Billy Goats there and still no sign of that brown one!
Back to the car along Invalids Walk and the only blot on the landscape was the building site where Penmorfa once stood,
