    The first decent weather for a while, so I headed up to the Beacons for a quick walk up Cribarth in
    excellent light. This is on the south-eastern corner of Mynydd Du.

    A fairly small summit by Beacons standards, only 426m, but a very craggy and interesting limestone
    ridge, which has been quarried in the past. There is some confusion about which is the highest
    summit. There are three main crags and the one with the trig point is marked as 423m, the one marked
    426m appears to be the lowest and the one in the photo on the web page is not marked with a height,
    yet may be the highest of the three.

    In spite of the sun it was very windy on the ridge, although the wind chill wasn't too bad. I didn't
    get there until late afternoon so it was a pity I couldn't have stayed longer, but I was there when
    the light was at it's most interesting and more sun is forecast for the next few days, so that's
    good news. Looks like the end of the overcast spell. Highest ascent so far.

    Distance: 4.3km, Ascent: 280m, Effort Rating: 7.1, Duration: 1 hour 44 minutes.

    I spent some time agonising over the photo of the day. The "normal" photo probably gave a better
    idea of the day, but I ended up plumping for the spectacular cloud photo instead.

    A spectacular cloud photo indeed! And it just gives a feeling of fresh clean air too! Well, to me
    anyway! Great work!

    I love the rainbow effect! The whole sky looks fairly unbelievable
    - but that's the wonderful thing about clouds: they're so very unpredictable. Well done Paul.

    Good isn't it? I didn't see that at the time, the sky was too bright for me to look closely at it.

    But real nonetheless.

    Yep, that's what I'd class as a "lucky" shot, I couldn't have planned that.
