Carmarthen Fan from the North
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 11:50 am
I jumped at the chance to work in Carmarthen on Tuesday as it would allow me to visit the Brecon Beacons for the first time.
An early start and a long drive on Monday, followed by some brutally narrow roads saw me parked up at the road end by noon to approach these hills from the North - which I had been led to believe was much the best way of doing the bunch.
Heavy rain was expected by 5pm so I was keen to try and get these done before it arrived. For now though it was a nice day, clear with relatively light winds.
With no sign of the rain just yet I did the short drive round to quickly bag the last of the group - Garreg Lwyd - from the high road to the West. I could have added this to the initial walk but it would have needed a long and out and back and I'd surely have been caught in a downpour.
