I’ve been feeling a little frustrated over the last ten days.  I spent the previous week in a holiday cottage in Eryri with some excursions to the Carneddau foothills only to be flattened by gale-force winds and saturated by driving rain and hail.  Since my return, the wind has dropped and the sky is clear […]

One of my favorite walks in the Black Mountains is the ascent of the Cat’s Back followed by transit over Hay Bluff and Twmpa then down the long ridge of Darren Lwyd to Capel-y-Ffin.  From there the path heads down the Vale of Ewyas before striking up an initially muddy slope before ascending over the […]

One of my best memories from the year I turned my back on Diabetes is the walk I did after a fresh snowfall in the sunshine on the Camarthen Fan as the year was coming to its end.  The photographs used here come from that walk in which I linked on the tops finally returning […]

I’ve been occupied by and with COVID now for more months that I care to think about and the blog has been sadly neglected.  Zoom has achieved a level of intimacy with my life that I wish to break and the lack of real human contact and audiences is stressful.  Notonly that time is simply […]
