Walking the Welsh Countryside

**Derek** · 26th August 07, 03:11 AM

Fri and Sat we went out on long walks in the countryside. Taking it easy today, then going off on another trek tomorrow. Anyhow here's a few pics from Fri/Sat

The weather was glorious and the countryside looking really green when we arrived at the starting point on Fri.

Soon we arrived at the reservoir ..

It was nice to be in the shade now and again,

Not to put up to many pics .. this track finally brought us to our final destination

Yesterday (Sat) we took off early .. our intetion to go to a little remote pub which is really hard to find. Unknowns to us, they were holding a small beer festival over the bank hol's .. so it made the trek even more worthwhile.

This pic was taken about an hour or so after we started the walk

Further on again and taking a small breather .. the rest of our gang were lagging well behind ... we all arranged to meet up at the pub

This was a welcome sight ..

A pic of those who made it to the pub ... the others got lost, did their own thing and we all got together again back home

The view from a side window of the pub ..

Great pics, Derek, and its nice to be blessed with some summer weather at last.
I've seen the Brecons from the air often enough but never explored them on foot. Next time I come to Cardiff I really must explore further up the valley beyond the train terminus at Rhymney!
