Path through woodland in Cwm Gwaun The path here climbs steeply through woodland towards the fields above the valley side. The path seems more used by animals than human feet.

English Longhorn cattle at Llanerch in Cwm Gwaun This breed originates in the North of England I believe but of course readily take to the pastures of the Gwaun Valley and look very relaxed and at home.

Longhorn cattle at Llanerch in Cwm Gwaun "Sniff, sniiiff! Who can I scent on the breeze, disturbing my nap?" A recently recumbent Longhorn detects my presence and then notices my movement as I take his photo.

Fox cub in the lane I was walking up the lane and became aware of 'barking' ahead of me and looked up to see a puzzled brown face looking up at me from ten feet away. "Funny cat - dog" I thought - "Fox!" and smilingly fumbled for my camera during which time he or she turned tail, still emitting little 'barks' and ran back up the lane to this point, from where he / she climbed the bank on a well used fox path and ran up into the wood, still calling. From behind a tree bole a smug adult foxy face looked back at me and I again raised my camera and zoomed in, starting to depress the 'shutter' only to see a red bushy brush disappear deeper into the wood, leaving me laughing and foolish below.

Carn Edward These 'twin' tors are both referred to in the name I presume, though the one on the right with its distinctive conical peak may well be the named one. A suitable point for a rest, a well earned brew and some scran while admiring the western end of the Preseli ridge over the valley of Cwm Gwaun.

Old railway wagons as sheds at Penlanisaf You don't see as many old railway wagons on farms as you used to. They were common when I was a lad but, like these two examples, are aging fast and being replaced by more purpose designed storage. The old implement is of even greater vintage.

Fast bends on a narrow lane Well, they'd have been taken fast if I'd been cycling downhill, but they were just a bit too 'up' for that sort of shennanigans.
