The Black Mountain

This picture shows the northern edge of the Black Mountain in the Brecon Beacons and was taken in 2019. Twenty years ago I was coming to the Brecon Beacons often for walking and it was really where I started my walking career. I remember going up the Black Mountain for the first time in 2002 in poor weather as a deliberate practice of my navigation skills, and I successfully got back to my car. I had graduated from the Brecon Beacons School of Walking and was ready to tackle the Lake District.
