    Yeah I wouldn't engage with those wild ponies.
    Perhaps unbuckle you're backpack so you can jettison it, if you go in a bog ?
    Your drone did well in that wind!
    Thanks for sharing, Lilu

    I wonder if the bird was a Red Kite. The plane is an interesting find, the Mosquito body was made of wood so only mechanical bits would remain.

    • @AdventuresWithLilu
      @AdventuresWithLilu  5 месяцев назад +1

      I googled and it looked like a buzzard but im no expert...it was huge and light brown from what I saw...
      Wood? Really? Wow...

      @@AdventuresWithLilu I regularly see both down here in the south.
      Buzzard = large, brown with cream mid wing, with fan (rounded) tail.
      Red Kite, large, redish brown, with forked tail.
      (Although I see them occasionally I still can't tell the difference between the smaller bird of prey)

    That was an adventure! Drum (pronounced DRIM) is the only mountain of it's size with a road all the way to the summit, up from the roman road there's a track which was built during WW2 for large trucks to drive all the way up as it was an experimental radar station testing a new system called Blue Joker. That slog up Foel Fras is brutal, I'm a local fell runner and it sure does get the thighs burning! I don't know why but they didn't build the trig point on Foel Fras on the actual summit, I've never found out what the problem was, maybe they just made a mistake but the real summit is a spike of rock about 70m SW of the trig point, looks like you had a lot of fun, I love it around there.

    Again glorious. Thank you. The first time I walked in Wales, scouting ahead of my parents, I heard a strange noise and ran back shouting "It's the devil". In fact it proved to be a small pony neighing which I had not heard before. I sometimes think the benefits of an Anglican upbringing are overrated. What do I know. Mayhap Satan roams the Welsh Hills in the guise of over friendly ponies. Personally I doubt it. Your undoubted mileage may vary. I now know you have been bedevilled by what can only have been satanically possessed sheep.
