72 A COUNTRY WALK We started our hike at the Usk Bridge. Prom there, we walked around Park Farm and then a short distance along the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal until we reached the old miners' path. We took this path and began to ascend the steep hillside. The path led to the summit and to a pillar of rock, known locally as "Lonely Shepherd." From this point, we had a wonderful view over the Usk valley. After eating a hearty lunch, we descended back into the valley by the forest trail. Suddenly 1 the black clouds overhead, which had been menacing us with rain all day, rattled I with thunder and the heavens opened. As the rain was torrential, we took shelter in I an old shepherd's hut. Saturated with rain, we sat round chatting and waiting for the I rain to ease, but it continued falling heavily. Having no other option, we continued our hike, looking forward to a warm fire and a hot drink at the end.
