Very tough indeed. The scramble up over those rocks ahead especially!! Not what I remembered from my last hike up Hebog 25 years ago. Well worth it though for us 2 days ago as weather and visibility was perfect. Had to abandon Moel yr Ogof and Llefn as time got the better of us and descended back down between Hebog and Ogof and reached car park in darkness.

No, I cant even find the photo with the sword on my PC. It is there somewhere I am sure amongst the 20,000 plus photos. Here is another without the sword. [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k268/stifyn/PC240010.jpg[/IMG]
The stone is one of a series of burial chambers across the high points of Gower. This particular stone has a cleft in it where the sword was supposed to have been. How the legend came about I have not the foggiest but probably some local hotelier came up with the idea to attract tourists. It was a hotelier that dreamt up the idea and legend of Gelerts Grave (the faithful dog) to attract business to the village of Beddgelert. Bedd = grave and Gelert is derived from a 6th century monk called Celert who was buried nearby and hence the name and nothing to do with this ficticious dog. Despite this, thousands of tourists flock to the monument to the dog that never existed each year so the ploy worked, not that Beddgelert needed any such ploy as it is a rather beautiful village at the foot of Moel yr Hebog and Snowdon.

She must really trust you then, if she allowed you to take Ella for walks. Besides me,the only person I knew who did that was her brother. Maybe I should have been more like you, because I was really attached to her during my time there. I would take Ella and my golden oscar out during the day, neither of them needed leads, and would walk to Singleton for ice cream cones which they both loved. If I stopped by the sandwich shop before paying my respects to Ella, she would bark non-stop at me across the street until Sue came out to see what was the matter. Ha ha, good times. Then came the war and away I went. Thanks in advance for passing my well wishes along, and take care.
