Not a nightmare to find, but it is most definitely in the middle of no where, keep going up till the up runs out, there you'll find this cairn. 854 meters up in the air on top of Arenig Fawr mountain on the edge of Snowdonia near Bala.
It was a big and fine cairn once, but it's been mucked about with by the ordnance survey, sheltering walkers, and memorial builders, for this is by far and away the highest point around here, bad weather comes and goes like, well, like the wind on a mountain and a B-17F 'Flying Fortress crashed near here while on night time maneuvers.
Sadly the low clods precluded any views at all, I'm sure it's all out there, somewhere.
