I went up Pen y fan today with Ramblin' Folkie and Ee. It was a very good trip, and much enjoyed by us all. We were of course, disappointed that more people couldn't make it, but they all had good excuses (illness, babies and too busy!). We have said that we will definately organise more walks in the future, so people can join us. I do have some pictures to share from the hike, but my camera decided to die half way through transferring them, so I haven't been able to transfer them all. Once my batteries have been recharged, more photos may be posted.

This was on the way up. The views throughout the whole day were amazing. It was good to stop and admire the view, because it meant you could get your breath back and give your legs a little rest!

In this one I love the way you can clearly see the shadows of the clouds on the hills.
Cool shades of the clouds!

Now come on you two, I know it can be tough being in each others company all day, but theres no need to fall out! ;)
They not talking?!

The path you can see at the front of the picture below, is the path we took down off the ridge. Yeah, it was just a little steep. At the start I was taking it really carefully, and then I began to get more confident. I regreted the over-confidence. Before I got to the bottom of that steep bit I slipped and twisted my right leg as I fell down. It hurt at the time, but after a few minutes I was able to get up and continue. Since then my knee has had a dull ache. I think its just bruised. I had a long soak in a hot bubble bath when I got home, which I think helped.
