Just some of the feelings around not going on a longed for expedition...

Today, Sunday, we should have been in Akureyri, ready for our flight to Greenland tomorrow. It’s 9C and cloudy there. Tomorrow, we would have arrived at Canning Land, where the temperature is 4C. But we are not there. I managed to contract Covid at the last minute and we have had to cancel the tri...

DAY 9 26 Mar '22
Storey Arms to A4067
THE CAMBRIAN WAY
A blissful day as no big pack to carry. I was staying in Brecon and so could leave my bag in my accommodation. Plus Simon is meeting me at the end of the day, with clean clothes, and a replen of food etc
This little video epitomises a moment in the outdoors. A momet to stop and listen. A moment to just be. A moment of peace. And calm. It is why I crave the outdoors. (Turn on the sound).

DAY 7 (24 MAR '22)
THE CAMBRIAN WAY Crickhowell - Bryniau Gleison. A beautiful day's walk through woodland, by babbling streams and back onto the tops and past the Chartist Cave. A sunset tinged with smoke, thankfully a reservoir between me and the fire.

DAY 6 (23 MARCH '22)
THE CAMBRIAN WAY Grwyne Fawr res - Crickhowell.
After a good night's rest out of the wind in this little bothy, an early start saw me back on the trail and another beautiful day. Wondering if the fires will impend my route tomorrow...

DAY 5 (22 March '22)
THE CAMBRIAN WAY
After a good night at Llanthony, including a special sitting at The Half Moon for supper, I met up with the lovely Zoë McLean who I hadn't seen for far too long. It was a stunning day, with a chilly wind, although smoke from numerous fires made it rather hazy. The view was from above Capel y Ffin, before I saw Zoë.

CAMBRIAN WAY: The View from Lunch (from Sugar Loaf)
DAY 4 (21 March '22)
So I started again, with a lighter bag, a plan to have shorter days and some nights inside, not all camping. The second was the view from Garn Wen in the Black Mountains and a second lunch.

Cambrian Way Update: Operation Re-think
One of the main reasons I’m doing this is to get away from everything, especially social media and internet. So I’m going to log off for now. I’m still going strong and the weather is stunning. But don’t expect to hear or see anymore updates until I’m done! See you in two and a bit weeks xx 🥾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⛰

Rather a soggy day yesterday but found this amazing finger-like tree root! Think I’ve sorted the tracking out so you can see where I’ve been.

So. This is me treating my technology for next week when I’m hoping you can follow me as I set off on the three week hike, The Cambrian Way - from Cardiff to Conwy through the mountains of Wales… 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Checking in. Arrived at camp. All ok

The mist rolls in from the distance to fill up the valley and envelop us in exquisite haziness.
