Day trip to the Brecons
I have to admit that we used to mock the Brecon Beacons when I was a lad on the doorstep of the lake district, but this is fine walking country and the north east faces are really dramatic. Besides, when you live in Romsey, everything looks big..!!
The photo is deceptive...this was one of the coldest days of the winter, -6C on the summit of Pen y Fan and with a strong /gale force wind slicing over the ridges. I had the fine company of 'Richard of the Pyrenees' and after a cold grey start, the day opened out to provide an hour or 2 of dramatic sunshine.
This is Pen y Fan, Cribyn, and Fan y Big (no chuckles please), but the full set can be seen at
