| Prelude to the walk - Crop Circle at the foot of Cley Hill near where I live (way past its best) |
 |
| Nunney Castle - I explored this tiny gem before setting off for Wales. Its ten minutes from home... |
 |
| Nunney is collapsed at the front so you can see the whole inside from the outside. A wide moat surrounds the ruins |
 |
| Interior views |

| Last of the light at Nunney |
 |
| Raglan Castle |
 |
| Beneath Raglan |
 |
| The White Castle. Doesn't do it justice. |
 |
| How many arrows were shot through here? |
 |
| Inside the White Castle |
 |
| Llanthony Priory with the cellar bar lit up in the far left |
 |
| The chance to waft around the priory ruins with a glass of wine as the sun fades......Lush |
 |
| Bit of sage wisdom from the campsite toilets |
 |
| Sunday morning view from my tent |
 |
| Emerging |
 |
| Big skies |
 |
| Two views through the ruins |
 |
| Joined by Vicki, Toby and Sy we all set out up nearby Hay Bluff |
 |
| Blue skies and clouds interspersed with rain moving up the valley. Huddle for a wet lunch stop but it passes over |
 |
| Preparing to scale Lord Hereford's Knob or Twmpa |
 |
| Half way up. The gradient is pretty ridiculous although its hard to tell. We were using our hands. |
 |
| Made it. This is Vic. I was last up and hacking away, getting over a chest infection. That's my excuse anyway. |
 |
| Catching the wind |
 |
| Mystery Fungi |
 |
| Gratuitous horse shot |
 |
| Lord Hereford's Knob in the background. Gives better idea of what we scrambled up. |
 |
| Sun's out |
 |
| Me |
 |
| Me a couple of seconds later. Like a good shapeshift. |
 |
| Indulgent selfie included mainly to show the amazing deep blue sky |
 |
| The dream team. Looking a bit like we're about to skydive. Two peaks. One afternoon. |
