Well, after a couple of false starts, we managed to assemble 21 walkers with 4 dogs : 2 newbies, Diane and Adrian, visiting from the Truro hash.

Not having done this particular approach for many years, we did take a false turning, but all managed to reach the windmill successfully.

It was just as well we went the way we did : white water was spotted on a ( very broad!) river Enxerim:

But, why wear sunglasses in the rain?

We still couldn't work out what the well & trough were really for ; but here's Rod's nostalgic photo from his first walk with us back in 2017:
