 arry Wilson and his dog contemplate the Dee Valley from the brow of a hill near the crumbling ruins of Castell Dinas Bran, which looms above the town of Llangollen. "As a Celt myself of the Cornish persuasion," says Richardson, "the old hill fort was a cherished destination. I was miles away on the evening that the urge to see it hit me. I shouldn't have tried. I was too far away, the predictions of how long it took to climb to the summit were dire, the light was murky, and I was running low on gas. What happened was pure Celtic magic. I got there just in time, sprinted up the hill, the light was mystical—and I didn't run out of gas."
