In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.
Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.
Looking south from the summit, Crickhowell can be seen in the valley below.
On the descent, this is the profile of the western side of the mountain.
Also on the way down, here is a view looking west once more with the valley in the mid ground and hills in the background. Natural haze makes the distant mountains seem to fade away.
Here's a moment where the #Sun is shining through clouds giving an eerie effect in the fading light on a hill, while the foreground is silhouetted.
