We were so excited about this little bit of snow, not dreaming that we might see more...
On the summit of Blorenge
Proper snow, set like concrete, with huge footsteps in it
A rather extraordinary geological structure faces you at this point....
The descent from Blorenge
Self-timer photo and tripod used here... SUCH clever people...
This is just before a really hairy quarry path
This view from the pub. looking towards Blaenavon, would be a really good place for the walk to end. Perhaps a taxi might be summoned to take one back to the car park in Blaenavon, instead of which it's a really humungous climb up a hillside to get on to a really boring path which winds towards the start of the walk. More of that later, here's Margie's take on the vista of slagheaps from this viewpoint:
A tired Margie rises from a break on the long and boring road. Following this, the walk back to the car involves a descent through fields, followed by a longish trek along a very muddy streambed, accompanied by barbed wire along one side. An unsatisfactory end to an otherwise terrific walk, next time we'll change the way we tackle it.
