CHAPTER XXIII.
An Expedition--Pont y Pandy--The Sabbath--Glendower's Mount--Burial Place of Old--Corwen--The Deep Glen--The Grandmother--The Roadside Chapel.
I was now about to leave Llangollen, for a short time, and to set out on an expedition to Bangor, Snowdon, and one or two places in Anglesea.

I had determined to make the journey on foot, in order that I might have perfect liberty of action, and enjoy the best opportunities of seeing the country.

My wife and daughter were to meet me at Bangor, to which place they would repair by the railroad, and from which, after seeing some of the mountain districts, they would return to Llangollen by the way they came, where I proposed to join them, returning, however, by a different way from the one I went, that I might traverse new districts.

About eleven o'clock of a brilliant Sunday morning I left Llangollen, after reading the morning-service of the Church to my family.

I set out on a Sunday because I was anxious to observe the general demeanour of the people, in the interior of the country, on the Sabbath.
I directed my course towards the west, to the head of the valley.
