View to Llansantffraidd-ym-Mechain from hills above Cilthrew Farm
Stunning spot. We enjoyed a lunch here.
Searching for the footpath line It turned out to be a dead footpath, long fenced off probably due to under use. 

Incidentally two dead quad bikes lie here, along with remnants of a few washing machines. Interesting. I always like to find abandoned machinery, objects and bric-a-brac like this, on farmyards or anywhere. I am a big fan. 

Some farmers seem to have a phenomenal ability to re-use / re-purpose almost anything, whereas some other farmers seem to enjoy casting off scrap, rubbish and the many and various tools of their trade like confetti. I am always intrigued at the thinking behind such stashes and caches.

Corner of a field or farm yard While searching for the dead footpath line I stumbled upon this little scene; a dumper truck and an upturned office desk. On further examination the office desk had a dead sheep under it, the whirring of flies giving it away as I approached. 

Bizarre. I am sure that is not the approved manner of dealing with dead livestock. 

There was also a Blue Tit trapped in a shed with windows. 

A strange and brief search for the footpath line was therefore abandoned and we used the adjacent lane instead, as the landowner probably preferred or intended.  We were soon back en route.
