...Of the beautifull waterfulls in the Brecon beacons.......

This one is interseting, "Sgwd-yr-Eira" (waterfall of the snow), you can walk behind it (it had been raining the night before, so was in full flow and I got a good soaking )




I thought this shot of "Sgwd Isaf Clwn-gwyn" turned out well



Anyway, Just as I was beginning to get all woodsy and at one with the spirit of the Dragons........


.................WTF!!!!111 ...............omigod, some dopey bastid has fallen over and summoned the big yellow angel of the skies







Have to say, the RAF Air/Sea Rescue outfits are fecking amazing

Nice pics

What did you use to keep the camera steady for the waterfall shots?

Who's leg did you break in order to call the rescue team out?

[Crusty]

The pity is, you see so many Chavs and Families with no idea of the dangers around these things, its wet and slippery and a fall at certain parts means inevitable death.

Luckily for this one they managed to raise the alarm from a not very accessible area.

Ginge......I was having to place the camera on rocks to get long exposures, but of course that limited the agles I could shoot from greatly

Is it a pity if the chavs fall and hurt themselves?

Is it a pity if the chavs fall and hurt themselves?

No, but it is a pity that some poor sod has to rescue them

Great shots Crusty
