Much of today was overcast with occasional sunny spells. We planned a drive over the Cambrian Mountains on a single track road for around 15 miles. Some of the road was through thick forest; others were through wide valleys. But for much of the road it was like a switchback with sudden steep rise and falls while all the time the road twisted and turned. Parts were as steep as 1 in 4 (25%) with sharp hairpin bends that were only manageable by shifting from 2nd gear to 1st at the crucial moment. Not a road one would want to drive if it were foggy or icy.
We travelled from Newbridge on Wye to Beulah and then on to Tregaron. We then travelled north as far as Cwnystwyth where we picked up the mountain road back to Rhayader. Fantastic drive with amazing views.
In the afternoon we went to the Red Kite Feeding Station and saw scores (if not hundreds) of Red Kite, Buzzards and other birds doing some amazing aerial acrobatics. Really special. Pictures added to Facebook album and I will try to add them to the scrolling photos on the right side of this blog.
God's creation is amazing!
