Dead Breconing

Barney takes in some of South Wales’ finest scenery, and some of its tallest nettles.

Words and photography Barney Marsh

It’s a surprisingly long drive, all the way to our South Wales campsite from Yorkshire. It takes many hours of hideous motorway torpor, punctuated by dead-eyed service station coffee, and huge great tranches of 50mph roadwork drudgery. So it’s a welcome relief to kiss the churning motorway goodbye, and head out into the hills, which glow fire-red, amber and green in the setting sun. Much more exciting.
