Brecon Beacons walking holiday

Mon 27 October 2008

.
Friday's walk, Nythfa House and Brecon, Saturday's walk, Sunday's walk, Monday's walk
.
For our final day, we travel back part of the way, and meet up at Llantony Priory
.
First we have a look around the ruins
.
.
Kathy tells us a little history
..
.
And then we are off!
.
.
Over the river
.
.
Past a very young foal
.
.
Starting to climb
..
.
Autumn colours
.
.
Up and over
.
.
Getting warm now
.
.
A breather to look back over the ruins
.
.
Approaching the open hillside
.
.
Yet more climbing
.
.
Quite high now
.
.
Coffee time
.
.
Up yet again
.
.
John is doing well in his unusual role of back marker
.
.
The summit, we hope
.
.
And suddenly the clouds gather, and there is a torrential storm
.
.
It doesn't last long
.
.
We travel gently along the edge
.
.
With good views into the vale
.
.
A good year for fungi
.
.
We think this is the way down
.
.

It must be!
.
.
At last, a sign to confirm
.
.
After a picnic lunch, we head back
.
.
Along the lane and back to the cars for the return journey home
.
.
.
Thank you Kathy for a most enjoyable weekend away, so well organised.
