The morning sunshine didn’t last but the impressive scenery of the Doethie valley made up for it. A lovely, peaceful walk through high moorland and river valleys. I’d like to have come here before the winter storms tore through. So many trees down (which made walking challenging in places) and many wooded valleys will have been greatly altered. Still, stunningly beautiful. I started and finished near the remote Soar Y Mynydd chapel, which sadly saw some storm damage too.

Landscape photo of a view down a small upland river valley. The steep slopes are golden brown with dead foliage of grasses and bracken. A few scattered conifer trees with denser forest on the hills in the distance. The sky is pale blue with wispy clouds but thicker clouds brew on the horizon. The winter sun glows bright in the top right corner of the frame.
A photo of an expensive view over a river valley surrounded by high moorland. The slopes are shades of green and brown. The silver ribbon of river snakes along below. The sky is thick with grey cloud, just a patches of brightness in places.
Photo of another river valley, narrower than the last. A small waterfall shows white in the centre of the frame. A narrow path follows the steep valley-side on the right, a thin green line cutting through the red-brown bracken. The sky is grey with cloud, hanging heavy over the hills.
A photo of a remote chapel beside a moorland river, a small stone bridge over. The whitewashed walls of the chapel are flaking due to weather damage. Several large trees surrounding it have been felled by recent storms, their huge root plates lifted up. Patches of blue sky and sunshine break through the clouds.
the fickle sun, having disappeared for most of my yomp, reappeared as I got back to the car!

Enjoy your Miss Austen sesh. 🥰
