Pen y fan sunset

 

 As part of my get fitter campaign I've been doing a lot more walking recently, last night I decided to "do" Pen y fan again.  Pen y fan is the highest peak in South Wales, and has been used by the armed forces for years for training.  So it's a challenge... and you know me... I cant resist a challenge.

 Truth be told I've been up Pen y fan many hundred times (seriously) I've been up in the sun, up it in the snow, at night, even full whiteout conditions... but I haven't done it for years, and I'm an old git now.

 So choosing one of my personal favorite routes the Story arms path then turn off left at the first ridge and follow the ridge around clockwise, it's a longer route but you get views of Brecon and Tommy Jones oblisk (a young lad of 5 who died up there see pics) then up over Corn du and onto Pen y fan.

 I then do a circle by following the path down to the Pont a daff car park and back along the road to the Story arms car park.

 To be fair the walk up wasn't half as bad as I expected given my age and fitness, the path down however was rough as hell and hard work on the knees.

 The pics are a mix of Gropro and SLR camera.

Sometimes people really annoy me!

 

 Last night I was walking home along the beach and I saw someone walking the other way, I changed course to give them a wide bearth (I just wanted peace and quiet) and I saw them change course again to intercept me.

 Now I'm not an anti social person, on the contary I'm usually open and friendly, but I do like my own space.  Anyway this person changed course a few times as I altered my course to avoid them, now that really annoys me.  Why would you deliberatly try to get close to someone who obviously trying to avoid you?

 In the end I turned almost right around and walked clearly away from this idiot, even then they tried hard to close the gap but only got within about 20 yards, I was considering running at them screaming fuck off! but didn't on this occasion. They didn't say hello maybe I wasn't close enough without shouting or maybe the look on my face made them think twice.

 Further up the beach much the same thing happened again, this time the moron took the hint when I turned right away from him and he changed back to his original course.

 I really dont understand these people, why do this, now of all times with covid still around would you try and get close to someone who is trying obviously and clearly to keep away from you?  It's also a bad idea for other reasons.  Who knows what their intentions are?

 I've got previous with finding the bloody nutter on the beach, and frankly I don't need them, and dont have time for them.  I've got friends, and if I want more I wont be looking for them from random brain dead twats on the beach.

 So a word of caution.  If you see a grey haired bearded bloke with black trousers walking on the beach change course to avoid you.  LEAVE IT GO AND WALK AWAY!    I'm not normally aggressive.... but I have been known to throw people over their own cars just from blowing the horn.  Yes I was younger then, but now I'm more grumpy and bigger so be warned.  I might not have a car to throw them over but theres plenty of sea to throw them in!

 Rant over.

Wrath of man 2021 (film review)

 

" Mysterious and wild-eyed, a new security guard for a cash truck surprises his co-workers when he unleashes precision skills during a heist. The crew is left wondering who he is and where he came from. Soon, the marksman's ultimate motive becomes..." IMDb

 Staring Jason Statham and Scott Eastwood (who looks a hell of lot like his father Clint) The film revolves around a security cash in transit company who suffer a series of robberies.

 With action more or less from the start the film has a comlicated plot with twists and turns and is told in sort of flashback style from three different viewpoints (which complicates it further) Although not to difficult to follow I think it could have done easier.  Theres also a few things that never become clear.

 Where did Jason learn his skillls, who is the shadowy man FBI, CIA or a criminal element???  Why is the money left behind at the end?

 This doesn't spoil a good action romp though.  If you like seeing Jason Suncream (my pun) shoot them up you'll enjoy this.


Waynes rating 7.5 out of 10  well worth a watch
