...the great outdoors

Thanks Tom Clark for organising a great walk across some of Wales great hills. All the chaps who came along did so in great spirit.







After a trek through a boggy pine forest (Blaen-y-glyn) and a stiff climb we came to the WW2 memorial.In memory of six Canadian pilots who died in their Lancaster bomber after crashing at this site. The wreckage is still visible today.



Tom guided us along the ridge to Fan y Big then he worked his psychology to get us to the top of the final peak. The wind was strong at the top. I could lean into it and let it support my weight. As many before me I added another stone onto the cairn to make the hill a little bigger!









Great day!
