Wet and High on Gold DofE
Yesterday was dry and very pleasant up high in the Brecon Beacons with a summit of Fan Y Big with a Gold DofE training group from Bristol Cathedral Choir School . Today was very wet and somewhat windy, so it was a short 3 hour "wet weather" experience for the groups before we turned and ran downhill back to the minibus and the journey back to Bristol
Brecon Beacons Deja Vu
Back out in the same area today with a different group of Gold DofE students from Bristol Cathedral Choir School for some navigation training. Glad I got to go round the route in the opposite direction today just to mix it up a little bit. Apart from a few cold sleet showers, it remained dry but as per yesterday was again bitterly cold in the wind. Looking forward to going on their practice expedition in a few weeks time.
Brecon Beacons Day 1
Today I was on the hills around Pontsicill in the Brecon Beacsons with a Gold DofE group from Bristol Cathedral Choir School improving navigation before the practice expedition in a few weeks times. Cold wind but warm sun was the order of the day with layers on an off accordingly. A nice 15km route with a high point of just over 600m with views over to Pen Y Fan and Cribyn.
