Walking in the Brecon Beacons

[Paul_G]

Well a few of at work have entered the 40km Brecon Beacons hike schedule for mid June.....must have been drunk when I signed up to do it! So yesterday we decided to head out for a scramble round some of the peaks in the Brecon Beacons. We ended up doing 13 miles, including Pen y Fan and Fan Y Big. The weather was pretty mixed, albeit there was a consistent gale blowing, which made some of the ridges fun.....not!

Took the camera along and managed to get a few photos, here are a few. Ended up leaving the 30mm on since it was far too windy (& wet at times) to mess about changes lenses!

On the way....(obviously not with the 30mm....)

And a bit of B&W processing....

Let me know what you think.

Cheers

Paul

I really like 2 & 6. The 30mm is quite handy as a walkabout at times.

I've been there in the last pic on Ten Tors training a couple years ago!

Great place, just not when it's cold.

Really getting in to my B&W processing, plus it was good to stick the 10-20mm back on the camera.
