Word of the day is ‘ramfeezled’ (18th century): feeling worn out, used up, and particularly enfeebled.

Early frosty start to catch the sunrise at Twr Pen-Cyrn, Mynydd Llangatwg. Worth the dark start. – at Ebbw Vale, Wales

Fantastic Wolfmoon swim, amazing location, perfect weather and a great swim partner, even if she needed to be 'dragged' in.😉. Our coldest yet, but smashing the ice warmed us up. #Wolfmoon #iceswim #FullMoon – at Ebbw Vale, Wales

Yet another unplanned trek that ended up at The Lonely Shepherd. Thankfully the rain stopped, the fog cleared and had the unexpected sight of the Golden Plovers still on the moors. – at Ebbw Vale, Wales

A murky wet and cool 12 mile trek to Y Twmpa from Grywne Fawr. Would have had great views if it wasn't for the low cloud. – at Ebbw Vale, Wales
