"Just at the top of this last descent the Brecon Beacons came well into view. As we were high up in the world so our horizon was high before us therefore we had a comprehensive view of these finely shaped mountain peaks that rise so grandly and gracefully from the valley below Why Snow don and Cader Idris should be so famous and tourist haunted and the Brecon Beacons the highest mountains in South Wales so comparatively little known or visited seems strange to me But I suppose that there is a fashion in scenery as in all other things."
