There is no lake Bala, rather a town in north Wales called Bala with the largest lake in Wales called Lake Llyn Tegid.
The person who rode round the lake was Tegid Foel, from whom the lake gets it’s name, and was a character featured in the Welsh / Cornish Mabinogi stories.

It extremely relies upon. The dirt should not be deep in any respect, and whether that's stay away. in the adventure that your horse wears footwear they might properly be pulled. reckoning on the intensity of the dirt, your horse can slip, hurting itself and you. there is often a threat of threat. If the pony have been to get its hoof caught and freak out, what might ensue then? make useful it is not completely dirt, soggy grass may well be nice. i might recommend no longer trotting until eventually you and the pony are thoroughly useful. You attempt the dirt first and make certain you do no longer sink in extra suitable than an inch, a horse is a heavy animal and could sink lots extra suitable than you. whether it is not too undesirable, initiate off by using strolling him by using it and get him used to the choppy and slippery floor. do no longer holiday him until eventually he's nice with the dirt. Then in some days pass directly to easily strolling him contained in direction of the dirt with you on him. No trotting. undergo in recommendations that once you get on him it will boost the completed weight much extra. in case you do come to a determination to trot, be very careful and proceed to be calm. i might even nevertheless no longer advise it, the negative aspects outweigh the advantages. whether that's moist soil then it would properly be ok. i might wait until eventually the pony has been ridden lots extra and is to a level the place he's not pig headed in any respect. Wait until eventually the soil isn't dirt, or holiday someplace else e.g. initiate conditioning him to roads or do foundation to eliminate his 'pigheadedness' in the previous you initiate doing extra volatile activities. :) in case you have any further questions be satisfied to function me as a sprint.

I hope this answers your question. Go camp there, and feel the atmosphere at night :-)
Taliesin is believed to have lived between 534 and 599. He was chief bard in the courts of at laest three kings of Britain, and is associated with the Book of Taliesin, a text from the 10th century containing his poems.
The life of Taliesin was mythologised in the mid 16th century by Elis Gruffydd, whose account drew from Celtic folklore and existing oral tradition.
According to this mythologised version, the bard begins life as Gwion Bach, a servant boy on the shores of Bala Lake, where the giant Tegid Foel and his witch wife Ceridwen live.
Tegid and Ceridwen also have a beautiful daughter, Crearwy, and a son, Morfran, who is so ugly and stupid no magic can cure him.
Ceridwen brews a potion to make him handsome and wise, and Gwion Bach is given the job of stirring it in a cauldron over a fire for a year and a day. A blind man, Morda, tends the fire beneath.
According to the legend, the first three drops of the liquid give wisdom; the rest are poisonous. As Gwion stirs the concoction, three drops fall onto him. He instinctively puts his hand to his mouth to stop the burning, instantly gaining great knowledge and wisdom.
Frightened of Ceridwen's reaction, Gwion flees. The potion has given him the ability to change shape, and he turns himself into a rabbit. Ceridwen in turn becomes a dog.
Gwion assumes the shape of a fish and jumps into a river; his mother becomes an otter. Gwion turns into a bird; she becomes a hawk and continues her chase. Finally Gwion becomes a single grain of corn. Ceridwen, assuming the form of a hen, eats him.
After Ceridwen resumes her old shape she finds she is pregnant. She instinctively knows it is Gwion. After the birth, although she has plans to kill him, the child is so beautiful she is unable to. Instead she casts him into the ocean in a large leather bag.
The baby is discovered by Elffin, son of Gwyddno Garanhir and the unluckiest prince in Wales' history. Elffin (or Elphin) is given a large estate in his father's kingdom in Mid Wales to rule over, yet almost immediately the sea breaks through the defensive dams and the estate is lost to the sea.
Gwyddno presents his son with the annual salmon catch of the Dovey River in compensation. But when the river keeper draws in his nets there is not a single fish in them - just a large leather bag.
Inside the bag is the reborn Gwion Fach. When Elffin sets eyes on him he is so shocked by the whiteness of the boy's brow he cries out 'tal iesin', meaning 'how radiant his brow is'.
As he rides home with the boy on his horse, the child begins first to speak, then to recite poetry. The poem he recites tells Elffin that Taliesin has been sent to guide him, that he's not only a great poet but also a prophet, and that by using his gifts all Elffin's enemies will be defeated.
Elffin's luck changes thereafter and he prospers in all he does. Taliesin becomes the most famous bard in Britain, foretelling the death of the evil king Maelgwyn Gwynedd at the hands of a 'yellow beast'. Through his poetry he inspires the Celtic warriors of Britain in their struggle against the Saxon invaders.
Towards the end of his life Taliesin makes a famous prophecy about the fate of the British, which has had tremendous significance in contemporary Wales:
Their Lord they shall praise,
Their language they shall keep,
Their land they shall lose -
Except wild Wales.
