Wales

Wales was incredible, i have never felt so close to nature and spirituely aware.
Firstly just had the three hour drive down there which wasnt to bad but il skip that out of the story becouse its not very interetesting...
we pitched up the tent quite quickly once we were on the site in Llemberis, i was eager to get some pk training in so i quickly had a go around the woods by the side of the camp site before setting off to the rocks and boulders, i did some lachi's, underbars/underbranches? and some body drops as well as some general just climbing around the tree's.

We soon set off after id had a little hours session in the woods, i got comfortable with my suroundings to start with by just trecking around the rocks, i also soon realised how much i had to concentrate on my landings since there is no smooth surfaces like there are in the citys.
Arm jumps were also quite interesting as i had to check then double check the small holds my hands would be grabbing onto. Its hard to explain how it is doin parkour on the rocks, everything is so compact so your constentally moving and seeing new oportunitys, the ground there is actually quite weird, its exactally like a gym floor its so compact and springy, which was good for working on my rolls as i rarley actually work on them.

So we finished off and i was shattered and went to the legendary Petes eats to have a meal.
Afterwards i couldnt resist, though full of food, going and checking out the spots around the village. i found an ok spot were i just "wowed" some of the locals with a front of a highish platform, a diving kong and flag.

DAY TWO.

Early that morning we walked seven miles to the top of snowdon in a prity fast time stood around at the sumit for ten minutes or so looked at the cool veiw then started trecking in down the seven miles back down, we got about one mile down when i noticed one of the most beautiful sites of my life and no i wasnt looking in the mirror... "Lin Ardui" (black lake) me and my dad decided we had to go down there since it was completely empty and just looked amazing.

My parkour came in quite handy actually getting down the masive rocky hill using standing jumps and quick footwork moving my way down. I got there and it was perfect silence not a person to be seen apart from my dad climbing halfway down, completly cut off from the rest of the world it seemed, the lake was in the middle of a valley half covered by the shadow of the mountain, i sat by the side of the lake with my feet in the water reflecting on life and my journey into parkour so far.

cutting a long story short we adventured back to the tent stopping at Petes along the way grabbing some food.

I got to about one in the morning and i couldnt sleep at all so i used going to the toilet as an excuse to go for walk, i was walking up a hill when i just saw a sheep dog apear from the shadows, it started just pracing around me abit and then just sat infront of me so i stroked it for a bit then headed off but the dog decided to come with me so i let it, i went into the woods id gone in the first day, climbed some trees being carefull of that minor inconvenience of pitch black.

i continued just walking around thinking to myself with the dog by my side which i wouldnt be able to see without the small amount of white of on its coat.

it got to about 3 when i decided it was time to make a move back to the tent i said my goodbye's to the dog once i got to the tent were it went back up to the farmers house and layed under a jeep.


DAY THREE

saw the dog a little bit in the morning, packed up, went home.

Great trip.
