The Skirrid Mountain, near Abergavenny, South Wales

Who likes mountain climbing ?     NO, not with crampons and safety harnesses...

The climb is rather steep, but the views are well worth it.   The Skirrid mountain is just outside Abergavenny on the way to Hereford.  It has a distinctive 'nose' shape and competes with the 'Sugar Loaf', and the Blorenge mountains surrounding Abergavenny.


As you break through the tree-line at the top it can be windy.  I held on to a very sturdy post to take these views on a particularly clear day last summer.







Relieved I'd reached the bottom of this very steep decent.
