Apologies for limited activity here recently. We’ve enjoyed visiting friends in Herefordshire. One lovely day’s visit last week was to Hay-on-Wye, over the Black Mountains, passing Abergavenny and Llanthony Priory, to stop at Gospel Pass – around 1750ft – to look down onto Hay-on-Wye smothered in low lying cloud.

Truly we live in a sceptred isle. Here a a few photos [click to enlarge], and a short video of the view.

Walks And Walking – Hay Bluff Walking Route

This is a 12 mile linear walk in Wales to Hay Bluff and back, with a starting point being Hay-On-Wye and covering a good section of Offa’s Dyke Path in the Brecon Beacons.

Now, I’m not a big fan of what I would describe as being ‘there and back walks’ but I found a waterfall at the back of Hay Bluff that looked quite interesting and couldn’t make a circ…
