A misty valley to start the day

Curious sheep, a sign of things to come

Into the mist

Oh, fancy seeing you here

I found this pigeon high up on the way to the summit of Pen-Y-Fan. I can only imagine it got lost in clag. I put some water in the bottle cap and it gulped it down. It also nibbled some bread and let me stroke it.

Pen-Y-Fan summit. I didn't queue up.

Atmospheric.

Looks like a cool route.

Oh, hello there.

Another curious creature. She was after my lunch.

A poser.

Definitely a poser.

More path. More mist.

The clag is clearing.

Ooh, a forest.

A path and a forest.

Views over the hills.

Descending back towards the start.

Cool stream.

A short detour to a wee trig and some wee ponies.

Foxgloves.

Trees.

Nearly back, a common path to finish on.

Lots of trees.
