||
Friday's walk, Nythfa House and Brecon, Saturday's walk, Sunday's walk, Monday's walk | |||
. We have a choice of easier, moderate and harder walks, and these photos are of the moderate one . |
|||
Keith
is our leader today for a 10 miler to Table Mountain, near Crickhowell .. |
|||
The
first part of the walk is all uphill .. |
|||
Watch
your step. . |
|||
We
reach the edge of the moor . |
|||
And
sheltering behind the wall we have our coffee stop . |
|||
Off
we go again and Table Mountain (Crug Hywel) 451 metres comes into view .. |
|||
Zooming
in we see the harder walking party already on the top and are planning
to do 12.5 miles to include Sugar Loaf . |
|||
Nearly
up and we can see Crickhowell far below . |
|||
The
last push . |
|||
Sugar
Loaf, not today! . |
|||
Keith
points out the next part of our route, down to Llanbedr for a pub stop
and exploring the valley beyond . |
|||
Christine
and Brian having fun . |
|||
Down
we go carefully . |
|||
More
sheltered in the valley . |
|||
The
local church porch . |
|||
Is
a good place for eating our packed lunch . |
|||
We
then visit the pub for a drink where we meet a friend enjoying the heat
from the wood stove . |
|||
The
afternoon walk is described as "undulating" . |
|||
Eventually
it is more down than up . |
|||
We
stop for an afternoon snack . |
|||
Before
continuing down the valley . |
|||
We
spot a heron fishing . |
|||
Up
again. Keith our very considerate leader, is dashing back and forth
ready to help all that need it . |
|||
Surely
Brian isn't thinking of it - is he? . |
|||
Oh
well, we'll hug a tree instead - a record breaking seven people are
needed! . |
|||
Before
continuing back to Crickhowell and the coach . |
