Considering January is usually the coldest and wettest month I have been lucky to go out again on a delightful day, which was a little chilly but dry with blue skies. 
Today Thelma and I went to Barmouth & Arthog to do some hillwalking and geocaching
- which included the strangest cache I have ever done - in the middle of the sea - well a slight exaggeration - it was sited in the Barmouth estuary and the tide was out - but it was a bit unnerving walking across sand that is usually submerged under the sea. Thankfully Thelma had done her homework and we had a few hours grace before the tide came back in. Me in the middle of the estuary!
These rocks in the middle of the picture are where the cache was hidden and are only accessible for a few hours each day when the tide is out!
We walked up this huge hill behind Barmouth itself - Cader Olau, which was very hard work and involved scrambling over rocks etc - not bad for 2 old women!
but with very rewarding views at the top of the Snowdonia mountains and Cader Idris.
The gorgeous sight of Cader Idris as we arrived - thankfully we were not climbing up this snowy capped mountain today!
