And the site of the Roman Camp is closed due to Covid at the moment. Having started a bit later than scheduled and needing to still stock up on food and drinks for the days ahead, we only walked the 13km version and were back in Brecon at 6.<br />2 walked back to the Cathedral at 7 to also walk the woodland gorge loop and there met a 7th walker. The scenery had been very nice all day (especially of course from Pen y Crug, with all the hills of the next three days of walking in panoramic view), but the steep wooded gorge, with the late sunshine breaking through the leaves, the steep pastures, the cascading river... very special indeed. Pizza for takeaway and a bottle of wine from the Brecon Tap: dinner sorted. N=7Thomas Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01298846868417688062noreply@blogger.com
