Last night there was really heavy rain but no wind, I was very comfortable. The weather forecast said today should be better but at 8am it was still pissing down. I delayed as long as possible and then just as I was taking down the tent it eased off.
A lot of rain overnight |
Lots of people heading for Pen y Fan as well.
Up into the thick cloud, not too wet though. Due to following the wrong mark in the boggy ground and not checking the map I climbed Fan Fawr which I'm sure is a lovely hill but I couldn't see it or intend to be there.
Came across this below the hill, would call it a Sheiling in Scotland, not marked on the mapGood walking in the mist and then it cleared to a beautiful day.
What a contrast! |
A shower came through as I climbed the last hill of the day but otherwise it was perfect.
Down to Penwylt, an old limestone quarry and town, following the dismantled tramway to a quirky campsite by the pub at Glyntawe.
Descending to Glentawe |
19.5 miles walked 1200 meters ascent
