Description

Wild goats live on these mountains, and as I scrambled round a large rock outcrop, one of them stood on the track watching me. It was a big animal with large curving horns, and I wasn’t too keen on having to dispute whose track it actually was! To my relief it trotted away as I approached. The Roman Steps, a track made up of stone slabs, climbs steadily through the narrow pass. After the rain of the last few days, water was running down the slabs, as well as down the stream, so that it was often difficult to differentiate between the path and the stream. I reached the summit cairn about two hours after leaving the road back in Cwm Bychan.
