In November we walked in the Nantglas area. We headed up the slopes of Caerhyddwen above the Stone Quarry near the A 470. Unfortunately it was extremely foggy, and when we reached the top of the climb all we could see was a blanket of fog. There seemed no point in continuing towards the Gaufron and the hoped-for views across to the trig point at the Druid’s Circle near Carn Wen.

Looking out across a sea of fog! Penny quoted Nelson’s immortal words: “I see no ships!” We decided to head back downhill, taking a slightly different route.

Part-way down the hill the mist started to lift, so we branched out on a footpath across the moor to a viewing point. Here Stephen, Bill and Penny are looking towards Llanwrthwl, while Barbara Jill and Chris are facing towards Nantglas.

Here you can see the Wye Valley stretching out towards Rhayader, with the slopes of Caerhyddwen on the right. Llewelyn is admiring the scenery!

We all admired the beautiful stone walls.
