Blue skies behind looking at Pen y Fan , (grid ref so012215 ) Brecon Beacons 




                                                                  




Got completely drenched a couple of times in December .The weather seems to turn nasty at lightning speed. Not literately thankfully. Few drops of rain can lead to a downpour.
