Bad a` Mhaim and the dam again, and the track back to the shed (17.10) and the cycle back to the van (17.50)
Weather generally wet with heavier bursts, broken cloud base around 850m. Had enough of rough walking. Climbed over the new deer fence on the way down, but managed to find a gate on the way up. The tree planting isn`t working, too much browsing by sheep and deer within the fence!
