Well what fantastic weather we have had here in Wales, This week i have been busy exploring some old waterfalls iv not been able to get to in so long, So first of all, i went to Talybont Waterfalls on Monday, a lovely peaceful trial walk around the Talybont forestry, up the one side of the valley around a mile and a half, cross the river and a mile and a half back, here we seen around 3 decent size waterfalls here is the first water fall you see at the highest part of the walk, before returning to the carpark.
Here is the First big Waterfall you come across if you walk the Trail Clock wise.
Here is the Second Waterfall along the Trail walking back towards the carpark.
Here is the Third Waterfall, there are lots of Falls, along the walk but not as big as these one's.
The next day we decided to go to Batman's Cave (Henrhyd Falls)
These Falls were used the in The Dark Night Falls Batman Film, Now iv never watched Batman and i have been here before when i was about 10 years old i came here with school, although i remember walking behind the waterfall i don't remember much else from the trip, so it was great to come back and do it all again, So we headed towards Colbren Glyneath, arrived at the car park and made our way down some very steep path's towards Henrhyd Falls. Here are some pictures from what its like at Batmans cave, this waterfall is so much more impressive when its in flood.
After spending some time behind the Waterfall annoying some Chinese Walkers, We made our way back to the car park, which in total was probably around a 4 mile walk, and the steep hill back to the car was a challenge.. there are many different routes to this Waterfall some longer and maybe on more of a level ground. If your a Batman Fan, this is defiantly a place to go!
On our was home from Glyneath i decided we would go and see a Standing Stone we visited about a 10 months ago? This stone is Extremely impressive, its Massive!!

The last time i came here was at a time when i could hardly walk and catch my own breath, it was at a time i was really struggling but so determined to get out and about, at about 60m from the road, i really wanted to go a see this Standing Stone, i had driven past is so many time's but never actually gone and had a look, so i decided although it doesn't sound far, when your gasping for Oxygen at every breath this was quite a walk for me. So here i am, the Standing Stone in the distance, thinking about how I'm going to get to the stone with out getting into much of a pickle.
Here i am after about 10 minutes at the stone recovering. Im 6ft tall so you get some idea of how large this stone is! (3.7m High)
Here i am at the Stone again, around 10 months later, all be it a bit scruffy but with new Lungs..!
Me and Emma at the Stone Together.
And for a bot of fun we always park in the Ford, (River Crossing) about a mile away from the standing stone, and take some pictures. So here is my Old Mini, and My New Mini.
If you've got this far and haven't got bored of me yet.. Thanks for reading!
