The Only Real Failure…. 24 January, 2014 · 6:00 pm. Die HardOr Not At All. Die Hard…Or Not At All. We have both lived in our small home town for 12 years. There is one route through the centre. After the first 3 years, the local council changed the road markings at a junction. You no longer had to make a right turn in order to exit the town, you just had to continue. You still drove on exactly the same roads but there was no longer a need to signal. Sometimes, it’s the ‘finish my sentence’ variety, ‘ ...

Stuff from my brain. Partly imagined encounters (4). Eavesdroppings (6) →. Partly imagined encounters (5). April 1, 2013. Telephone cold caller: Hello Jack, how are you today? Man: Do I know you? TCC: No, why? Man: I just assumed, since we’re on first name terms, that we’d been introduced. TCC: Just being friendly. TCC: I do apologise, would you prefer ‘Mr. Jones’? Man: I would. I really would. TCC: OK Jack, we’ll go wit…. Sound of a line going dead]. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Beinn Ime. Summit to think about. On Friday, our good friends David and Barbara invited us to climb Beinn Ime with them before we headed back to Wales. This would be our fourth Munro and is the highest of the so-called 'Arrochar Alps' (1,011 m / 3,317 ft) . However, the weather forecast for Saturday was gloomy – low cloud and mist. Should we or shouldn’t we? As we reached an area of large boulder deposits, David delivered the bad n...

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Waun Fach and Pen y Gadair Fair. After leaving the pub car park in Pengenffordd (there is an 'honesty box' provided by pub - donations to charity) we made the quickly steep ascent to Castell Dinas, the ruins of an old Norman castle, then descended to a col with a small stream at the foot of Y Grib - known by some as the 'Dragon's Back'. When you see it, it is immediately apparent why the ridge bears this name. Not all summits have ...

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Sugar Loaf, Black Mountains. Another Marilyn this week. The Sugar Loaf is situated near Abergavenny and is part of the Black Mountains range in the Brecon Beacons. A 7.5 mile walk with an elevation of 596 m (1,955 ft). It is amazing how quickly you can get cold when stopping at the summit - even on a warm day. Boulder fields (even small ones) at the top of hills remain exciting to climb. This is our journey. No Peak This Week.

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Return to Pen y Fan.with an armed guard! Way back in February, our friends Maria and Jenni took us on our first trek in the snow in the Pentland Hills. Later in the year they led us up our first two Munros - Ben Vorlich and Stuc a Chroin. As we were about a third of the way up, we were passed by soldiers carrying full packs and automatic weapons. While they gave nods and smiles of thanks as we made way for them, they were reluc...

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Fan Gyhirych and Fan Nedd. Slowly, but surely, we are bagging local Marilyns but not quite as many as the man who climbed all 1,556 of them. Today, we were joined by our good friend, Tim. An experienced walker and great company! We crossed the northern face of Fan Nedd with beautiful views of the Senni valley below us. However, glancing at the view while you are walking risks an ankle injury! Face back to the car. Deuter Futura Bac...

A Peak A Week. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.'. Black Mountains: Hay Bluff and Twmpa (aka Lord Hereford's Knob). There seem to be more classifications for hills! These qualify as Nuttalls and Hewitts. If you change your mind about which hill to walk, remember to also change the map in your rucksack! Other hill-walkers seem to like our snowmen friends - they become a talking point and appear in many selfies. Why is Twmpa known as 'Lord Hereford's Knob'? This is our journey.
