The Glaslyn’s so blue, so blue .....

A clear view from the Cob is always spectacular but fishermen, and I don't mean the ospreys, just gave it that extra something today. High tide was retreating and the anglers were settled in for their competition with prizes for the heaviest fish and the heaviest overall catch. Nothing so coarse as would need to be thrown back but tasty sea trout.

The birds and the beers


Once or twice a month the Snowdonia Society (Cymdeithas Eryri) organises social events for members of the society and the first event of the year is on Saturday 19th January. Rhys Jones will lead a midwinter morning walk around Llyn Bach and along the Porthmadog Cob where we hope to see lots of wildfowl and waders that winter on the Glaslyn Estuary. This will be followed by a traditional pub lunch with a range of real ales at The Ship.

If you would like to come along please contact Frances Smith on 01248 685498 or by email to frances@snowdonia-society.org.uk
