Up to my knees in the bog
A run / walk in Fforest Fawr, near Brecon. Up Fan Nedd from the beautifully isolated Maen Llia standing stone, across deep bogs to Fan Gyhirych (2,300ft), then plummeting down to a disused railway track back south, meeting up with the Beacons Way and Sarn Helen eastwards again to Maen Llia. Some stunning scenery, better revealed later in the day when the sun started shining.
17 miles, 4 hours. First hour we only travelled 2.5 miles!
Followed this on Sunday with a nine mile plod round the parks. I’ve developed a slightly tight ITB (Illiotibial Band) so decided to rest it a bit this week.
Oh yes, and I really did get up to my knees in the bog and had to be hauled out! As a result my garmin footpod has completely died on me
