Bryn Poeth Uchaf hostel, Rhandirmwyn

opened 1969 - closed 1998

This was a fabulous little hostel, the all-time favourite of many a hosteller. You signed in at the warden's farm and then trudged 1km up a muddy path next to a stream to the isolated hostel tucked in a fold in the hill. If you couldn't figure out how to light the gas lamps then you sat in darkness, and if you couldn't light the fire you shivered. But what fun it was!

Hostel Bryn Poeth Uchaf, Rhandirmwyn

ar agor 1969 - ar gau 1998

Ffefryn sawl hostelydd, un bach gwych. Byddech yn arwyddo yn fferm y Warden a cherdded 1km fyny lôn fwdlyd wrth ochr nant i'r hosteli ym mhlyg y bryn. Os nad oeddech yn gallu gweithio allan sut i oleuo'r lamp nwy yna fe fyddech yn eistedd mewn tywyllwch ac eistedd a chrynu os nad oeddech yn gallu cynnau'r tân. Y fath hwyl!
