This walk was to see the Memorial on Waun Rydd marking the location of the 1945 crash of a Canadian Lancaster
The weather was damp but it shouldnt get any worse according to the forecast. I parked at Blaen y Glyn Isaf upper car park and walked down to the stream at Blaen y Glyn walking up towards the waterfalls. There was no safe way to cross the stream when the path changed sides so i had to remove boots and paddle across! I left the stream and headed up the slope to the Cairn at Gwalciau'r Cwym. The rain then got worse accompanied by high wind making it difficult to see through my spectacles. It would only get worse as I got higher so the decision was made to retreat (before reaching the Cairn) I took a shortcut across Waun y Gorlan back to the stream and after removing footwear again to cross the river returned to the car park for Lunch . The crash site would have to wait!
