#FootpathFriday

49 posts46 participants1 post today

Rough run today. Watch navigation going bonkers, making the run both longer in time and distance plus more height meters. It refused to get back on track when I was actually on the course. Pfft, not good for the mood. Covered the remaining distance by memory, signposts, and the occasional Garmin Explore check. 18,4K, 663 m of height difference. Blueberries were tasty though!

I found it, um, amusing, that @organicmaps calls this a "bridle path", presumably because it is labeled "horse=yes". (On #OSM.) It is entirely legal to bring your horse up this rocky, brushy trail with random big steps. If it is wise will depend on the horse. Seasoned stock out of California's Sierra Nevada may manage this piece of the Trinity Alps, but most aren't going to like it. Maybe if I added something like "horse_scale=critical", it would help?

This absurdly hard trail up to Alpine Lake in #TrinityAlpsWilderness is my contribution to #FootpathFriday today. Behold the granite!

Battle with a conifer plantation aside, I had a lovely bimble in the Cothi valley, around the Dolaucothi estate with its Roman gold mine. It’s now a National Trust property. I didn’t go down the mine as it’s closed on a Friday (hence my visit…nice and quiet!) but maybe another time. Lots of peaceful woodland, farm and parkland to explore and I had it all to myself.
