Welsh hills

I.m sat on top of a welsh hill as i write this... Dr Fred has ventured further up an even bigger hill with crags on and i am luxoriating in peace and tranquiluty next to mountain lake... well maybe a hill reservoir but its very pleasant and quiet.  This being written on my mobile and i didnt bring specs so its a bit rough and ready...

Wales is a bit of a contrast to the previous two days weatherwise... on sat after a late start Dr Fred, the friends we were spending the weekend with and myself went for an extremley hot walk on Wildboarclough.. the sun was out and we all resembled pink shrimp by the time we got to the crag pub... when we had slogged back up the hill to the campsite i.m surprised we werent cooked like prawns!!! Stil a lovely wslk followed by a pleasant evening sat outside our camp eating and drinking and watching the sun go down and a stunning gibous moonrise.  Now in Wales it is wet and windy but not too cold and lush and green with beautiful soaring hills and valleys

It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
