Hay field near Pen-y-wern Farmers have been taking advantage of the extended hot dry spell, stocking up feed for the winter and doubtless hoping we don't get another lengthy one like the last.
View is south east across the Kerry Hills.

Upper Cefn Perfa A view of the farm buildings which straddle the road. A new house has been built, and the brick barn appears to be for sale with a view to conversion.

Poached pasture Curious geometric designs in the muddy pasture where a feeding station has been located over Winter. The view takes in the road leading to Ceri and the Miwl Valley

Quarried slope A convenient quarry for hardcore about the farm. The rock outcrop is of the Bailey Hill Formation, of Silurian (Gorstian - Lufordian) age, and comprises turbiditic sandstones and siltstones. From the colour and weathering, I would expect these are mostly silty in nature. Rock outcrops are rare in this area, so this is potentially quite important.

Steep lane A very steep, incised lane leading between Lower and Upper Wig. The Welsh habit of prolonging certain vowels leads to the interesting anglicising of the names to Weeg at times. The tree on the right looks very precarious, forming a wooden wall at the roadside.
