Storm Clouds

A number of phone calls and text messages late on Thursday evening, confirmed that the proposed group walk planned for today had been called off due to the extremely poor weather forecast.

Earlier in the week the route had been changed from a coastal walk to the Brecon Beacons because of the poor weather expected during Friday.

With 50.6mm of rain recorded by the Sennybridge weather station for the 24-hour period ending at 22:00 hrs on Friday 10th and with gusts of wind recorded at 37 mph, it looks as though the right decision was made.

Footpaths would have been soaking wet and conditions underfoot difficult if the walk had gone ahead.
