Nedd Fechan Waterfalls - 15th January 2008
Ystradfellte Falls - Brecon Beacons


It was a lucky break in the weather. After a night of torrential rain with flood warnings all over Wales, nature decided to give us a break and stop raining for a few hours. My nephew Adam and I took the opportunity to visit the waterfalls in peak condition, although we were told when we got there that the river had already dropped by 6ft in the two hours since it had stopped raining. This didn't surprise me, but due to circumstances beyond our control, we couldn't have gotten there any earlier.
On arriving at Pont Melin Fach we met Tom and Stuart, pictured above, two adventurous canoeists from Oxford who wanted to take advantage of the conditions. It was their first time on this river.
Tom has an exciting moment on the first minor waterfall.

This photo gallery is temporary. These photos have been processed quickly just to get them online straight away. Many of these waterfall photos were taken using multiple exposures intended for HDR. I'll be processing them more carefully later and providing larger images.
