2nd weekend of October is walking weekend when friends from the south east come to enjoy or endure whatever the elements throw at us. One day was the Carneddau from Llyn Ogwen. Near the top of Pen yr Ole Wen we bumped into 6 other walkers and for a while followed them as they faded in and out of the clouds. Much later we heard a helicopter and the next day’s news included the rescue of 6 walkers stranded on a ledge overlooking Cwm Llafar. We saw no-one else all day - was it the same group?
On the other day we did a cross over from Ganllwyd to Barmouth via Cwm Mynach and Diffwys. For most of the ridge walk we enjoyed the inside of fast moving cloud and the partial windshelter of stone walls. Heads down views of wet upland and lots of hairy brown and orange caterpillars (were these Fox Moth -
Macrothylacia rubi?) with waterproof properties superior to Goretex.

But view of the day had to be the
Mucilago crustacea slime mold. I won’t attempt any explanation of this but encourage you to read Natur Cymru edition 41 which will feature an article on slime molds written by Dr Bruce Ing (formerly of Mold!). He will also be describing them on the Radio Wales Country Focus programme in early November.
Generally, you'll want to analyze for dark pattern to recognize the structure's inside air quality and to prevent suffering from illnesses relevant to dark pattern. If you are a property owner, you may be required by your municipality to comply with certain requirements and topic your property to dark pattern examining so you can replenish your business allow. At times, dark pattern examining may also become necessary when you are processing for insurance.
