The car park itself was fairly high up, but because the hiking route took us close to Abergavenny, we really did hike the entire distance up to the top. So we don't feel like we cheated by parking half way up!
Even the view from the car park was worthwhile.

We are headed up here!

Here's a 51 second video taken from the top. You can hear how windy it was if you turn your volume up to listen to my commentary!
We found a bit of a sheltered spot to have some lunch.

Nice view of the city of Abergavenny, Wales.
It was a good hike, and on a beautiful day! Took us just over three hours, including a half hour or so break for lunch.
Helen and Tony are heading back home today, so it's just us and Harvey the dog for the next week or so until Helen and Rick arrive back from their trip to British Columbia. Then another couple of days after that we will be in Iceland for five days, and then to Halifax to visit our daughter and her family. Then to Ottawa and area for a few days and then driving to Mexico! So we've got a week to relax, and then it's going to be a busy October!!!
Looks like a pretty cool windy day there. But will probably get much cooler before you get to the warm weather on Mexico. Enjoy your time there.
ReplyDeleteYou guys do look chilly up there.
ReplyDeleteDriving to Mexico? I thought you left Sherman at Hacienda Contraras. Are you going to bring a toad down?
Hi Mike, yes, we are getting our little car out of storage in Ottawa, and driving to meet Sherman at Hacienda Contreras in Mexico.
DeleteSure is windy on Sugar Loaf Mt - more great views! Nice you all got another chance to be together.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely views.
