Was very excited ! made it to Mynydd Carreg, back of Aberdaron, a small mountain of Red Jasper !!! a strain only found here on the Pen llyn, you find pieces of it all around our coast.
But to stand on a mountain of it was utterly brilliant, birds of prey above you, outstanding views, worth a visit, the Jasper is even underfoot in the path.
The grass trail up to the top was completely dry & trodden down, which strangely made it so slippery, funny going up, BUT ! on the way down it was lethal, so thought, I'll sit down and shuffle a bit, to my suprise it became a slide all the way down to the bottom, such fun π€
I've added a link, it's got more infomation on there about the history of the quarry.
