And when I got back to the car park -refreshments awaited!

As I prepare to descend back to the car park I take one last loving look at the three peaks -(l to r) Corn du, Pen y Fan and Cribyn

Neuadd Reservoir

After negotiating the three peaks I still had to walk around this reservoir

Beginning the ascent of Cribyn -although the lowest is was very steep at the top

A group of Germans got to the peak moments before I did -one of them took the photograph of me

Looking from Corn Du to the second and highest peak -Pen y Fan

Do you know how annoying it is to be invited over to someone's house thinking you just going to get a great meal and then in you are forced to go to the living room after the meal and are shown boring slides of a recent vacation. Invariably the photographs are of landscapes and the photographer keeps reminding you, "This photo really doesn't do it justice." Well, this is my slide show and you don't even get a meal.

I completed the 11 mile/3 peak challenge in 6 hrs and 20 minutes. I am loading this blog immediately after returning because I'm trying to stay awake to call Maurene in Peoria. My feet are quite sore, but no blisters! And yes, the photos don't do the walk justice. Since Mark, Bobbie, Grif and Lauren have been in the Welsh mountains I hope one of them will attest (in the comment section) to the fact that photos don't really show the severity of the slopes or the beauty of that region of Wales. If they do not I won't invite them over for dinner anymore! For that slide show effect always double click on the photograph!!!
