Black mountains hike !
We just returned from our first hiking trip as a couple in years, we’ve been together 12 years and both have a shared love of hiking but minimal opportunities for a joint hike due to having young kids.
I got to organise an epic weekend which saw us take on the Dragons Back ridge in the black mountains, for those unaware this is in the Brecon Beacons in Wales.
We took an unorthodox route courtesy of the Komoot App, 11.66miles, 1,200 metres of ascent. Standing on the summits of:
Pen y Grib
Y Grib
Pen y Manllwyn
Waun Fach
Pen y Gadair Fawr
My reason for this hike was because a Saturday in July was not the time for the business of Snowdon etc. I just wanted something quiet, intimate and relaxing. Apart from the 800m climb up Gadair Fawr this was all of those 😂
