A beautiful day on Aran Fawddwy, a southern outlier of Snowdonia, but a wonderful mountain and a tremendous place to view all the mountains of Wales.

I hadn't set out to dedicate the walk to Frank, the idea developed strongly as I decended and I pieced together what a really fine walk it had been, and how much Frank would have enjoyed it. All the ingredients for a Frank walk.... a hidden summit, some fine grassy walking, a rugged undulating rocky summit, marsh and tussocky grass, a deep rocky cwm to decend, and a feeling of remoteness and big quietness which reminds you of Scotland. All the ingredients I like in a walk too..

I thought a lot about Frank and his influence on me as I decended, and rembembered what a great man of the hills he was, and also what a thoroughly kind and decent man he was. He will be missed by all that knew him, but for those who walked the mountains with him - he will always be there...
