Welcome to Hiking in Wales

I have been hillwalking for around 22 years and noticed my pack seemed to get heavier and my knees a little more sore with every day in the hill. Lightweight came to the rescue.
I have spent the last few months researching lightweight kit and techniques and with this blog I hope to record my days in the hills and the gear that keeps me up there.
I don't get out there very often - I have a hectic job (creating things like this) and a young family, but when I do, it's normally in the wonderful Brecon Beacons National Park, just 30 minutes from my home.
Lightening up is still a little strange to me - changing my boots for running shoes was scary, but if it can get me out for longer, that's got to be a good thing!
