The farmer who owns the farm at the top of the road, is also a total nightmare.
I realise he has a challenging job, trying to juggle a difficult life, amongst the barren mountains, but heaven forbid, if you encounter one of his vehicles on the steep approach road, you HAVE to let him have right of way.
Several years ago, before the waterboard altered the road, with the new pullins, before approaching his first farm gate, he simply stopped in the middle of the road, waiting for me to reverse a good hundred yards, to allow him to pass.
I waited a good ten minutes hoping he would relent and reverse barely a few yards back up the road, to allow me to pass, but he wouldn't.
In a way, i do not blame him, having to endure the thousands of cars using this narrow approach road, but using the Eigiau road is always a lottery, and its a shame, its the only way to access wonderful Cwm Eigiau
Regarding Cwm Caseg, make sure you take your waders with you, as its one of the boggiest areas i know of, in the whole of Snowdonia, its waist deep in places.
The long walk into the Cwm, from Gerlan, is amongst the best wilderness walks in the whole of Northern Snowdonia, and over the numerous times ive done it, ive only met one fellow walker, its even quieter than the Rhinogs, which takes some beating.
The stunningly beautiful Ffynnon Caseg, has to be the finest picnic locations anywhere in North Wales, and thankfully its litter free, and so quiet.
Last year, i spent a good hour, enjoying a boiling hot Pot Noodle i had warmed on my jetboil, and cheese and pickle sandwiches, lying down infront of the lake, so peaceful and tranquil.
Cwm Caseg, a magical place, and thank the LORD it requires a lot of energy and effort to get there.
Just imagine the top of Snowdon, when you contemplate the beauty and peaceful solitude of an unspoilt Ffynnon Caseg.
