Carreg Waun Llech on the limestone hills south of Crickhowell, South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday
Great views of the Black Mountains and Pen y Fal (The Sugarloaf) from here.
Visited May 2010.

A moody day in South Wales for #StandingStoneSunday.
This is Carreg Wen Fawr Y Rugos stone row (something of a rarity in this area), up on the limestone hills above Llangynidr, with marvellous views north across the Usk valley to the Black Mountains.
The row consists of a very long, tapering recumbent stone (if upright it would be over 2m tall) and at least 8 other smaller standing stones.
Visited on a drizzly day in May 2010.

Last summer I started on a long held ambition to walk the River Wye/Afon Gwy from Severn to source. After doing 70 miles of the #WyeValleyWalk a combination of train difficulties, worsening weather and finally Covid stopped my progress at Hay on Wye.
Delighted to be back on it today, a short 8 mile section of changeable spring weather and stunningly beautiful scenery between Hay and Boughrood, the Black Mountains an ever present companion.

Walkers are Welcome Town - Talgarth
Welcome to Talgarth at the foot of the Black Mountains in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. Talgarth is an ideal base for visitors wishing to explore the area whether itโs the high peaks or the lush pastures of the Wye and the Usk valleys.

Another of my very favourite standing stones for #StandingStoneSunday: Maen Llwyd (one of lots of stones with that name) may be the highest standing stone above sea level in Wales, at about 560m OD.
It's wonderfully situated in a natural amphitheatre, surrounded by ridges of the Black Mountains, below the Bronze Age cairn on Pen y Gadair Fawr.
This visit April 2010.

The eastern profile of Y Mynyddoedd Duon (the Black Mountains) in South Wales, on a winter's evening from the Malvern Hills, some 40 miles away. Temperature inversion fills the lower valleys with white mist. Pen-y-Fal (the Sugarloaf) is the lone peak far left, Pen-y-Beacon (Hay Bluff) the prow of the escaprment far right. In between are the summits of Pen Cerrig-Calch, Pen Allt-Mawr, Pen-y-Gadair Fawr and Waun Fach, the highest in the range.

After a peaceful week away in the #blackmountains #wales the thought of returning to the bird app is anxiety inducing. Time to make some new #science friends here and start some new conversations about all things #ecology #agriculture #farming #academiclife #rstats and maybe some #sewing #knitting #mecfs #neisvoid thrown in for good measure
