The biggest area of mind-blowing wonder though was the uplands and mountains of south Wales. From a snowy Blorenge and a hail-blasted Fan Gyhirych in the Spring, through Summer treks up most of the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons in various weathers there have been so many highlights. Cerrig Duon and Maen Mawr was a particularly great "first" and directly inspired a heartfelt re-connection with stone circles that took me to Dartmoor (four times in the Summer) and Avebury, as well as very long overdue revisits to Stanton Moor/Nine Stones Close/Doll Tor and to Four Stones.....


It's a very long time - if ever? - that I've heard anyone refer to the hills of South Wales as an area of 'mind-blowing wonder'....certainly not any of the Welsh in my family! I love the enthusiam you bring to TMA, SC and I'm frankly in awe of your mammoth walks. From a thoroughly non-altruistic viewpoint...keep it up.


Thanks very much my friend. You are of course aware that your own pictures and inspiring fieldnotes are what got me out there in the first place. I hope that the legs hold out and I can keep on next year!
