A steep climb with incredible views in all directions.
The next day after climbing the ‘Dragons Back’, I returned to climb the hill opposite called Mynnydd Troed. This is a quick and easy walk from the same car park at the Dragons Back Inn after crossing the road and following that path through a few fields to reach the foot of the climb. It’s a fairly steep with plenty of false summits to toy with your emotions, but from the top the views is incredible. I was honestly blown away with the views from here. You can see the whole of the central beacons and the surrounding basin to the north including Llangorse lake, home to the only Crannog in Wales and England.
I reached the top with an hour of light left and set about photographing the sunset. The light was amazing. Across Wales social media was full of this particular evenings sunset. There was just enough clouds in the right place and just enough gap on the horizon for the sun’s light to illuminate the sky in orange, red, purple then pink. In that order.
