A walk From Breacon Beacon to Black Mountains and back.....

Loverrrly photo's, abit spectacular some of them:o))) from Sunday 21st Feb when OH (first photo) went on one of his rambles. They went to The Breacon Beacons and Black Mountains. It took 2 and half hours longer than it should have because of the snow. l was at home thinking 'where on earth are you', he should have been home aprox 5pm. He rang at 6 to say he would be home by 7pm. It was exhausting to say the least and to me dangerous, but they all loved it. The ages of the walkers ranged from 40 ish to 81yrs old. They all fell over on the way back down and OH had really bad cramp. Thought you like to see the photo's??
The 2nd one......they walked from the top left range, (left to right) and round in a circle!!
