Pen-y-Fan, Brecon Beacons

Today the cloud was down, and it had rained in the night ... However after breakfast it cleared up. We headed off for a walk up Pen Y Fan .. parking at the Storey Arms, the cloud was still down and the girls decided to stay in the van.
Sue and I headed off up the track, into the cloud confident in our ability to get to the top.
Luckily it was not misfounded and as we got closer the cloud lifted enough for us to see a little.
On the way down we got caught up with some of the elite selection process ./. markers by the path and occasional people charging past.
One of these disappeared into the mist in a completely different direction to the others.
Later at the bottom we were having some food and joking when the "staff" were looking concerned .. just before we left the straggler came in.. due for the inevitable bollocking.
then it was back to the tent, via an outdoor shop for a new lightweight tent to replace the leaky one Katie was using.
