"The sun beat down - relentlessly, remorselessly". We trudged across the scorched earth, down the dry, dangerous, stony path, sweat pouring off of us, stinging our eyes, as we staggered down the steep ravine that might, just might, lead us to water.
Well, it was a bit like that. The Four Falls Trail (Llwybr y Pedair Sgwd) in the Brecon Beacons is a popular walk of around 9 kilometres, easy to access but not to be taken lightly. The descents to each of the four waterfalls increase in difficulty, and the last one, Sgwd yr Eira is a 300m steep path, 100m from top to bottom. In the middle of a heatwave it was quite a challenge. My nickname at home is Captain Abrasion so I was fortunate to escape with only a sprained ankle on the final ascent.
