I visited a waterfall today with a couple of mates, really had to get away. Only a two and a half mile hike. Silence, then you could see, hear and smell (really!) the waterfall. Nature is the most tranquil of temples.

I respect those who mourned (I couldn't) and I respect those who objected (I didn't).

It's a personal thing, I know, our relationships with the natural world and I do contribute to this site too much possibly but today's brought me a feeling of great peace.

Peace out ✌️

Nope, stayed dry. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it because it's such a honeypot but it was Aber Falls. Been there before but along the higher path that traverses the scree.

Slept at the bottom of those falls next to the benches once. Great spot.

Honeypot for a reason, a great little walk, especially if you do the circular walk, not just up and down the main drag.

We got a lock in there once. I'd just finished the Welsh 3000ers and was getting changed at my van when the guy came to lock the car park gate. We had a nice chat and he said we'd have to move or if we preferred he'd lock us in for the night and let us out in the morning. Sounded like a good deal to us so we went for the lock in option!

not all waterfall trips are safe.   Be very careful at the Reichenbach Falls if you have long term enemies

A trip there could be fatal
