Another day, another hill…
Saturday was forecast to be really hot and I figured we could best avoid crowds of people by staying at home (nah!), or head (slightly) inland for a walk in an area I expected would be deserted, and of course….another hill summit, yay!

Because it’s there! No, I jest :-). I have wanted to climb Pen Y Fan since … Continue reading Setting the Scene…
