Eglwyseg Mountain, Llangollen, Denbighshire, Wales

There is an ample amount of hill country to the south of Ruthin too and the Offa's Dyke Path national trail passes through here too. In fact, I was passing along part of it when I captured this scene a few miles north of Llangollen. Because of the steep slopes hereabouts, the path is only wide enough for a single person and the sight of a steep drop can be enough to stop you looking at the scenery but that's a fight worth winning. As it happens, there isn't so far to fall either though that's no excuse for being totally careless. After this walk, I was reminded of it on a stroll from Elgol to Sligachan where a stagger from another narrow path could have landed me in the sea in Loch Scavaig, an even less desirable predicament that made me wonder why I was so concerned in rural Denbighshire.
