• Danywenallt YHA end of day 14

    October 9, 2017 in Wales ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    Monday: 8 miles / 700 feet of ascent from Crickhowell to Danywynallt YHA beside Talybont Reservoir completed at end of 14th day of walking. Weather pleasant sunshine, clouding over towards end of the day. Camped in Danywenallt YHA camping field.

    Took Bus from Cardiff to Crickhowell to resume walk having broken off last week to see comedian Henning Wehn in Leamington Spa. Very amusing view of the British from a German prospective. As he put it 'observational comedy from the viewpoint of a foreigner'.

    Arrived Crickhowell late in the afternoon so had to walk briskly to be at hostel in time for supper. Easy navigation in the daylight but quite tricky once it fell dark. Last 1.5 miles took 1:30. Lady at hostel kindly telephoned me at 20:37 as she was concerned I had not arrived. I arrived 5 minutes later. No pictures today as I was in such a hurry I did not take any.
