A walk in the hills

Today I went for a walk in the hills that are behind Caridff. It was a nice day so I decided to go. Sarah and I packed some lunch and set off. We climbed up to the top of the ridge from the car and from there it is a nice view out over Cardiff. It was especiall clear today as you were able to see all the way to Bristol, the Seven Bridge, both islands in the Seven Channel and what I think is the Atlantic ocean. We headed up to the trig station point that was on the highest point, dodging the sheep. I also saw a falcon of some sorts that was hunting, hovering and also hopping along the ground for a while. While a the trig station we took some awesome photos (above me on top of the world and sarah looking really short) before having lunch.

We had convientely stopped at La Minas to pick up some excellent baguettes for lunch. La Minas is a small sandwich shop that has excellent value for money and good tasting sandwiches. So we sat there munching on our sandwiches, getting cold and decided to hed back to the car. I thought it was good if only to get warm again.
On the way back we passed this old looking barn which was in quite good condition. It it the only house/building that I have seen that has a corriguated iron roof. hmmm I guess that slate is a lot cheaper than steel in these parts.
