"On the Black Hill is a tale of identical twin brothers who grow up on a farm in rural Wales and never leave home. They till the rough soil and sleep in the same bed, touched only occasionally by the advances of the twentieth century". A camp on the Black hill, inspired by a re-read of Chatwin's classic. A temperature inversion was forecast but instead I was treated to fog. Location was found via a getty image
