We carried on up the hill and soon passed the Caer Seion hill fort then on up and over the hill. Socs was doing my head in with her ball on a rope, constantly wanting me to throw it. I don't know where that dog gets her energy from maybe it should be me eating the dog biscuits?
I had an idea, if I threw her ball down the path she'd have to run back up the hill and that in turn would make her tired. So that's exactly what I did. It was a good plan until the ball bounced off a rock and landed in the gorse
She stood at the bottom of the hill looking at me, then into the gorse and back at me. So guilt ridden, back down the hill I went to fetch her ball from the gorse. It served me right but with my ankles stabbed to bits, I managed to get it in the end.
I think this is one of the sites where people learn to rock climb. It's not that high but it's very steep (pic 1) As we passed over the top I noticed some buildings on the side of the mountain. They looked similar to the quarry buildings over in Pen but I don't know what they were for maybe someone on the forum will.(pic 2/3) as I looked down from here I could see what looked like old farm buildings and an old reservoir. I had to go down there. (pic 4)
