We were out filming yesterday on the north eastern edge of the Brecon Beacons. This was the view from time to time from the top of ‘Twmpa’, a peak which has the epic English name of ‘Lord Hereford’s Knob’. The elevation is only 690m, which is hardly high by mountain standards. Back home in the lowlands though, just a few miles away it was relatively balmy. At one point I was struggling to get at a lens function and my glove stuck to the velcro of the camera’s rain cover and one thing led to another. To sort it out speedily I pulled the glove off. It took a little longer than expected and within 20 seconds or so my fingers were painful and non-functional. I couldn’t get my hands under cover again fast enough. Just goes to show, don’t take chances with the cold. The views were worth waiting for, and I include another picture taken when the wind-blown snow and hail mixture had stopped blowing through. There wasn’t a lot of wildlife to film, though there were a few ravens ‘dancing’ in the sky. All in all a refreshing day.
