16/05/2004 - Tim Pentreath, 24.4km from Talybont
After a long sweaty walk up and a bit of sitting around at the top a good cycle came through and Ken, Stephen, Jim and I were on our way to base at 5000'. There was only the slightest northerly drift...
![](Resources/img4428a.jpeg) Ken cranks it up
![](Resources/img4427a.jpeg) Jim's there too...
![](Resources/img4429a.jpeg) The glide to Talybont village was horrible - big sink much of the way, but the brown fields and the hill worked, so it was back to base, this time at 5700'
![](Resources/img4432a.jpeg) I found the climb before Ken & Stephen and left them far below :-) (This is zoomed in !)
![](Resources/img4434a.jpeg) Then it was over Llangorse Lake, after which Ken and I skirted just to the west of the Black Mountains
![](Resources/img4435a.jpeg) Another glide, another cloud...
But all good things come to an end, and eventually the ground rose up to meet me :-)
