Log Text: We went looking for this cairn from the north, after visiting the Bryn Seward stone alignment. This was definitely a mistake in terms of making headway, but we did come across the most fantastic erratic while stumbling through the forrest, and also saw the circle of stones which were clearly something significant.
From later research, these seem to be the hut circles listed by RCAHMW database.
The ‘path’ shown on OS maps through the forest cannot be relied upon, and the firebreak track through the conifers becomes a virtual river whenever it rains.
The cairn is actually very easily reached from the upper lane.
I first became aware of this cairn from some really helpful jottings I came across on the net a couple of years ago – I hope their journey comments and well-described routes inspire others too:

Bedd yr Afanc submitted by PAB on 19th Mar 2021. Bedd yr Afanc passage grave, not the most impressive example in itself, but located in a very impressive setting, and within an easy walk from where we were camping, always a bonus!

Bedd Arthur submitted by pab on 21st Jul 2006. Setting the scale: Looking due East over Bedd Arthur, it actually looks much smaller than expected from many pictures, and this one lets the landscape re-assert itself rather well! From the same spot, Carn Leidi near St David's was also visible looking due West

Visited: Yes on 24th Sep 2012
Barclodiad-y-Gawres (Anglesey) submitted by pab on 24th Sep 2012. Even without being able to get into the chamber itself, it is definitely worth making the short trip from the car park to look through the gates.
The arrangements at the time of our visit were as displayed on the notices posted by Drew (escorted visits at weekends up till end of October) - which nearly made us decide there would be nothing to see!
You may not be able to make out the actual designs because of the lighting etc, but there is certainly enough to see through the gates to ma...

Bannau Sir Gaer submitted by pab on 20th Apr 2008. As noted in RCAHMW description, many of these stones in this circle are difficult to find - especially if the grass ever gets a chance to grow!
This picture picks out the stones which were visible on our latest walk around the wonderful Carmarthen Fan circuit.

Visited: Yes on 2nd Jan 2011
Althing submitted by pab on 2nd Jan 2011. Site in Iceland
By way of contrast to Drew's photo from April 2010, this picture is of the same location, but looking at the Rock and flag from the other direction. This was taken in July 2002, when Iceland was really in bloom with wild flowers.
The Icelanders have a very keen pride in having had their democratic 'parliament' since such an early period.
