Last year on my Birthday we managed a brief walk on Ysgyryd Fawr in a Thunderstorm. This year the weather was much kinder (although no champagne) and I managed to skive a few hours away from my work e-mail for a quick skip up Bryn Arw. It started cloudy but quickly developed into a glorious warm summers day
No finer way to spend your lunch hour on your birthday
The colours of the trees and the wild flowers, especially the bluebells under a clear blue sky were mesmerising
Over all too soon before back to work drudgery, but great memories nonetheless.
Happy Birthday to me! (from 2 weeks ago) π

Now skiing in fresh powder under a blue sky with a lunchtime beer would a really good birthday! π

Happy birthday indeed. The weather at the moment is pretty good (and hot!!). Looks like a good way of taking advantage of it.

Thanks Steve, it was actually a couple of weeks ago though – as usual I’m a couple of weeks behind with the blog. A perfect day though, warm enough to sit on the top but not so hot as to be uncomfortable

I’ve carefully reviewed the photos and I have to tell you that, if you look carefully, it appears that somebody is following you! I think you may have a stalker! (-:

I think she’s pretty harmless although some slightly disturbing views on musicians…..

Lovely part of the country you live in and that’s my kind of walk- upland but still rural, passing through different levels of scenery and terrain. Happy Birthday.

Hardly ever see anyone up on this small hill and never seen the route mentioned anywhere in print. It’s one of my favorite local short walks

Thanks Dawn. Felt good to be sitting on a sunny summit rather than in front of my laptop π
