That's the best use of a jetski I've ever seen!

Three days camped in the Brecon Beacons. First two days were a bit toasty but Wednesday was cooler.


Pen Y Fan 3.6 miles away as the Crow flies.


The Red Kites are beautiful majestic birds.


The Baling started before 08.00 and finished at 20.40 hrs....


Nearly bed time...

Pen Y Fan is evil. There are a number of false crests before you reach the top to challenge ones character. The last sight I had of Satan's toy was descending and looking back to see it disappearing into the mist and rain.,knowing that we had three more lumps to go up only to go down again. Before the delights of a wet tent, wet sleeping bag and more wet clothes in the 8 ton bergan I had to take for a stroll with me.

Dining, of course on Britain's finest compo luke warmed with a hexi block. I've never been very fussy about food but not at all since those few times.

Right now our street appears to be under invasion….

 

[Bouba]

The wife and dog returned from their early morning walk before the day gets too hot...and tells me I’ve just missed the all the military vehicles....shame really because you see all the artillery pieces that they tow for the parade. They also have a big military camp down the road where they sleep under canvas.
So I managed to get some pictures of the stragglers. There are general rules for these things....first, it’s virtually all American...they did have the coolest kit...some Free French...even the odd German. But never...ever...Brits.
And they are always mechanized.....apparently soldiers don’t walk

While the invasion comes from the sea…others are heading towards the sea

Fab early morning

I wondered if they were looking for a Mc drive thru?

“This reenactment runs on cawfee and fully leaded”

Got to love a Willys J

These parades are held in every town throughout the country (and world) by re-enactment societies....it gives an idea why the value of a well sorted Jeep is so high

With the age of those people in the jeep, I would not expect them to be able walk far, but to use their bus pass.

It's to commemorate the landings in southern France in August 1944.
Only US and French forces (using US equipment) were involved.

If you want to know more, Google 'Operation Dragoon'.

There’s a tradition in re-enactments....when you get old you play a General....there’s a lot of Generals in re-enactments

I was going to call this 'slavery gets shit done'.

When she said 'I do' almost 35 years ago, did she realise she was also saying 'yes' to this?
