I spent a few months living in Drefach Felindre — a lovely village nestled in the wilds of west Carmarthenshire, about half an hour from Carmarthen and Cardigan. To get there from Carmarthen you take A484 north west through the […]
Back in April 2016, I led a Meetup.com walking group on a circular route starting from Carreg Cennen Castle car park, through countryside and up onto the edge of the Brecon Beacons before heading back down to the base of […]
This is a throwback to Brecon Road, Ystradgynlais in 2020 and looks quite different now due to the Persimmon Maes Y Rhos development which now stands where those vehicles are parked. Another example of how there can be so much […]

Waking to snow, I packed my rucksack and headed out into it. Up onto Cycle Route 43, then through the forestry on the edge of Nant Helen open cast mine, all the way to Caehopkin. Whilst overcast when I set […]
