I began 4 weeks volunteering on the FR with a Walk from Tanygrisau to Tan-y-Bwlch with Pete Tarver and Cuthbert. The lake was so low we got the chance to walk most of the original trackbed to Dduallt.
The old trackbed in the middle of the lake. Considering this spends 50% of its time underwater, the formation is in pretty good nik.
