Near Llangollen
I found a picturesque lay-by, near Llangollen, for a morning coffee stop.

Furnace
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.
Furnace Falls
Riverside walk
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.
A day out
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.
Aberdovey
There is a similar Bell at Morecambe.

Glasdir
Ultra-lightweight backpacking coffee filter
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.
Glasdir Copper Works
The rain got a lot harder after this so lunch was in the car.
