Wet weather training in Wales

Back in the UK for XMAS so the training has suffered a little but I have had the chance to visit my old favourite kit shops to continue the stockpile of essentials (that's what I keep telling myself). I've managed to get about 50+ miles in over the last week since my last post including a very wet outing in the Breacon Beacons yesterday, which should have looked like this..

..but there was heavy rain and no visibility for the 10 mile stomp. I tested the new outer layers and trekking poles which all performed very well. The only others I saw were a couple of Army fellas out training, they both had a pack on the size of a bungalow but were still moving very quickly. The rain never stopped and the journey included driving through flooded roads where the water level covered the wheels (hire car so worth the risk..). Great to be back in the South Wales hills where I had my first experience of wandering in the wilds. As always route map and other stuff on: http://www.movescount.com/moves/move9363778.
