Furnace is a village named after the industrial plant that is there – disused now but restored. The iron furnace was built in the village on the banks of the river in about 1755 – and processed ore bought there from Cumbria by ship.




There weather forecast was poor so I followed a path out of the village along the river for a short walk and lunch.




I used the gas stove today as the wind was so strong that the alcohol stove could not deliver enough heat the boil water for Indian spiced Tea.
The weather was not forecast to be great today, overcast, mist and drizzle – so the plan was to head into Snowdonia National Park and see what I came across.




There is a similar Bell at Morecambe.

I have attached a length of cord to the canteen lid as it secures with only an 1/8 of a turn and I did not want it to come loose and then be lost.








The rain got a lot harder after this so lunch was in the car.
