My first hill

OK, so 1 hill down already. My mate Jamie met me just west of Oswestry last Tuesday 6th October. We walked the Berwyn hills from Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog taking in Cadair Bronwen, Cadair Berwyn (840m) and Moel Sych to finish at the waterfall at Pistyll Rhaedr. The waterfall is worth a trip even if you don't fancy the walk. It rained. A lot! Neither of us ended up with a single dry item of clothing, and Monty (our black lab) was drenched. We only went wrong once however, and throughly enjoyed our tea and cake at the tea shop at the end. We think we did about 12 miles and a fair amount of climbing. It was not really a day for photos, with views essentially limited to the inside of a cloud. Despite the rain it was great to be out, and we enjoyed each others company.

Good to have got the first hill under the belt!
