Cadar Idris and the Estuary onto the Sea

Fifteen minutes

a shortish drive

steeper and steeper

in the woods

we survive

the twists and the turns

Old woods

dry stone

Walls, old and crumbly

Adventure calls

out our names

Up the tarmac road

lower Precipice

trail

Gates to be opened

.we mustn’t fail

Came upon a trail

where the wild birds sail.

Heather and oak trees

Upwards we go

looking out at the estuary far down below

where the

salmon and sea trout

still in the flow

go off to the sea

with such glee and content

in their bodily miracles

It being meant

the river, the mudflats in the face of a gale

looking down at the estuary

and the Irish Sea

sharp eyes and tired brows

its the best place to be

fantastic silence

looking out to the sea

bilberries and   heathers

and  the odd tired oak tree

a beautiful blue sky

Up here carefree

the Precipice Walk

a marvellous descent

so much to see

I am beside myself

the time I spent

absorbing it all .
