After several weeks of rain we've had a couple of dry days and it was nice to get out again and to be dry on the completion of an activity. Today's walk was sunset specific and I headed up to Cwm Gwrelych tip left for a photo of sunset down the valley. On looking down the valley there is a mountain with a mast on top which I assumed was either the Foel or Baglan but on my return I checked the compass bearing and was surprised to find out that it was actually Kilvey Hill at the end of the valley and if it wasn't in the way, we'd be able to see Mumbles lighthouse. |

The sun was setting down the valley and reflecting off Rheola pond as I was passing on the bike. |
