Log Text: Day out exploring the south Wales coast. On the way back, stop off at Ogmore Castle, gleaming orange in the setting sun. Within the castle is mounted a stone which clearly has carvings on it, but in the dark shadow of the castle walls, it was impossible to make anything out clearly.

Log Text: Beautiful day out doing the 4 waterfalls walk to the south of Ystradfellte. After dinner at the New Inn, popped up to visit Maen Llia where we amazingly meet Cerrig, out doing some surveying, but the sun is hidden from him. He takes great pride in showing us some amazing features of Maen Llia, such as the flattened platform with a stone where a shadow would fall, and the place where the stones shadow (or toungue) would reach on solstice sunset. Brilliant!
