Left: 8.30am. The Britannia Stores, for once without a "For Sale" sign, is close to the Britannia bridge.
Right: Looking towards Snowdonia from the Britannia Bridge, there are reflections in the River Glaslyn.

Left: The Tourist Information Office is across the road, with the harbour to the left.
Right: Looking across the mirror like harbour towards the open sea. The boat yards are on the right, beyond the apartments.

Left: Some years ago, Euro money was used to create a harbour side recreational area. And pleasant and popular it is.
Right: In summer, the harbour entrance would be full of boats. But not so in November,

Left: The view across the Glaslyn estuary taken from the path beside the boatyards. Portmeirion lies behind the headland across the bay.
Right: There are spectacular views of the estuary and the mountains from the headland.

Left: The leaves are still on the trees, and hiding this view of the local Chapel.
Right: A very pleasant coastal path continues beyond Borth-y-Guest for half a mile or so.

Left: Another view across the bay. The path back to Porthmadog runs past the trees to the right:
Right: And from under those trees, a stream trickles into the bay. Then it was back up the hill and over the headland. Excellent excersize.

Left: I keep on taking photos from along this path. The Wife says "not again, surely?" Or words to that effect.
Right: This one at least is rather more interesting. The crane is used for lifting boats from the water.

Left: A selection of boats laid up for the winter.
Right: And several yachts. ditto.

Left: Looking across the almost empty harbour, from the front of the Yachting club.
Right: The door just visible at the extreme left of the photo is the front door to a holiday appartment at which we stayed in 1978.

Left: Another view of the "Euro money" area, which really is a credit to the town, and a very popular spot for summer visitors..
Right: And another harbour view, this time taken from beside the Harbourmasters office.

Left: The reverse of the third photo above. Looking landwards from beside Tourist Information.
Right: And my walk ended on the Cob, where it started. Just in time to see the 10.20am Ffestiniog Railway departure for Blaenau Ffestiniog.
