@Dagnabit So envious. When I was 14 I went pony trekking in the Brecon Beacons for half term with a group of school friends and a teacher at this time of year. It was my first time away from home on my own and I was very excited. I was told it always rained and was chilly, but I didn't care because I was horse-mad, not a sunbather.
My mum didn't give me sunscreen, because why would I need it? Instead, she packed waterproofs and warm clothes.
They had a heatwave. It must have been in the 80s and there was no shade. I had a vest top under my sweatshirt and stripped down to it but I had to put the heavy sweatshirt back on because I could feel myself burning. The sweatshirt was an old scraggy one retired to horse riding, so the sleeves were too short. My upturned wrists burned really badly as did my chin which was poking out from under the peaked riding hat. It turned into one huge blister.
Even though it was only on tiny bits, I burned so badly it was the only time I've ever had sunburn. I never wanted to do it again.
But despite the pain and the blisters, I loved that half-term holiday. The landscape was beautiful. I'm from Essex, which has its pretty parts, but had never seen anything like Wales.
Have a great time and I wish you the fantastic weather I had all those years ago. I know you'll pack the sunscreen.
