Ever since I first saw the huge ENE facing ridge that is the eastern edge of the Black Mountain when I was learning to fly back in 1989, I dreamed of flying it... Well after 13 years it's finally come true during a wonderful flight from Heol Senni, over Fan Gihrych, then onto the Fan Hir ridge itself and beyond...

Map, who needs a map? Anyone would think we're going xc...

I'd always wanted to know what the lakes nestling underneath the most northern and highest point of the Black Mountain looked like - well now I do!
