Summer Solstice 26 ....Cefn Esgair - Carnau Cairnfield .



Time isn't holding up, time isn't after us .






 Summer Soltice time again , doesn't time fly . To mark the occasion  I visited  a cainfield in the Hepste Valley in Bannau Brycheiniog  National Park a few miles north of Penderyn . Cefn Esgair - Carnau Cairnfield is vast  38 approx cairns are spread over an area on open moorland . I located six  . Looking forward to returning to see what I missed soon .










This Cairn can be seen from the road . 









 I have riden past the cairnfield on numerous times on a stretch of the 4059 between Penderyn and  Beacons Reservoir . Part of a stage on next years Tour De France . Keep 'em peeled .
