Sorry I missed posting this week as I was away and did not get a chance to do anything before going but I always find something for Skywatch
My wife and I took a walk up Aberedw hill and as normal I stopped to take in the view
The track through the quarry on the left used to be a hard climb over a rocky surface but over the winter it was smoothed out, bare in mind I have been coming up here for 20 odd years and struggled up to now because the going is so much easier
We took a different track when we got further on and came across this bench
It's one of the best ones I have come across and was placed there in memory of Pip Morgan who died of cancer and was a local postman who was a very keen cyclist
I like to thing his friends remember him when they ride past
The view from the bench was worth the effort
It sits at a cross roads of paths cyclists use
It has become our new go to place and I sit here and take in the view and remember a guy I never met.
RIP Pip
RIP Pip
Happy Skywatch
What a lovely spot for a ride or a ramble, and for remembering a dear friend.

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful view and a lovely place to sit and remember old friends. Enjoy the rest of your week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful bench and what a great view! I really miss seeing and walking the English countryside when I come back to the US. I can easily see why it has become your favourite place.

Greetings from Heidrun
That's a very good view. I love the bench. I don't know where you live but here the cyclists are quite social. The pitch in at all trail work days and look out after each other.
ReplyDeleteSo much beautiful greenery. I love the bench and what it stands for!
ReplyDeleteThat is an incredible view, and perfect place for a bench.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very beautiful view of the countryside.
ReplyDeletePip’s Bench is nice but bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of photos, Spud! Pip's Bench looks like a beautiful spot to relax and watch the clouds drift by. It's a wonderful way to remember Pip.
ReplyDeleteSuch stunning scenery - Thanks for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
ReplyDeleteA lot of thought has gone into the construction of that unique bench. Very unusual and just begs for you to sit down and enjoy the view.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful bench! I've never seen one as intricate as that before. The views from the hill look beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteI love how verdant and open the landscape is.
