Hiking in the Brecons.
Well, yesterday I went for a good old hike in the Brecon Beacons in Wales with my dad, James, Kevin and Liam. It was...interesting. We had to actually climb, hands and knees, up a rocky hill with a little, almost waterfall, running down it. It was so scary but really fun! It was very snowy high up as well, I am actually amazed at how well I did, and I am so chuffed. We had a few rests, maybe like 3 or so, which I think makes it even better. We made it to the very top!! That's 2800 ft up, we climbed a total of 1200 ft (we started a bit off the ground anyway) and when I look back at what we did I couldn't believe it, I just though, I did that!? Coming off the top of the peak was fun as it was snowy and slippy so me and Liam decided to just slide down on our arses haha, was much easier for us, and was more fun. I actually gained more confidence in this whole climbing/hiking malarkey and I am very proud of myself. One thing is though, we did go off the peak the wrong way an up ended up walking an extra 2 or 3 hours to find our way to Brecon! Where we managed to find a pub and Kevin found the car and took us back. It was most definitely an adventure and I can't wait for the next one, where hopefully my Davey can come, and some other friends too! That'll make it even more fun hehe.
