So the last of our walks in the Brecons for this year and we had a plan to meet up with Andy at Surfnslide, and you can find his fine version of the walk here, where we had, as he writes, “the meeting of the two great blog houses”! He’d planned a lovely circuit, up first…

So the day after our Pen y Fan walk, we woke to sunshine (typical) but felt a bit sore, and given that we wanted one last good walk before leaving, we needed a day off between the two walks. So regardless of the weather we headed for Abergavenny for a more gentle day. We’d seen…

So big walk time for our little holiday in South Wales, and one of the classics in these parts, the Pen y Fan Horseshoe. The weather was a bit unconvincing in its accuracy, with it changing 2 or 3 times in 24 hours, but we went for it anyway, with hope for some cloud free…

So another visit to South Wales, with family and friends to visit in the area and plenty of walking on the cards. Our trip last year had more normal March weather, with clouds and some rain at times. However this year the weather was excellent, with plenty of sunshine, with the exception of one walk…

So time for our last walk in the Brecons, and we’d been talking to Andy from SurfnSlide about walks in his local area. We’d agreed a meet up time and a walk around the Grwyne Valley, which he’d done before, admittedly in some lovely warm conditions with sunshine. After a long drive down a long…

Walk number two of this visit to the Brecons (Bannau Brycheiniog), and after a day of fairly heavy and persistent rain, we stayed on the eastern side of the National Park, to avoid the worst of any showers coming in from the west. It worked pretty well and we only had one long ish batch…

Well it has been almost 3 years since my last visit to the Brecons (Bannau Brycheiniog) and it was a long overdue return. As mentioned on my last walk around the Granite Way and Meldon reservoir, my next outing would be Wales. As with last time I visited these parts (and for that matter when…

Back in February in lockdown I decided to stick some pins in a map of places I wanted to walk and visit, when we all could again. A few in the south west (Brown Willy in Cornwall already in the bag), some in south Wales, Snowdonia, Peak District and a few aspirational ones in Scotland.…

New places and new walks, that’s the motto for this year. I’ve been extending my walks around the South West Coastal path, new places on Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, and now a new area altogether in the Beacon Beacons. The choices of walks here are pretty wide and varied. However having driven up from Plymouth…
