South Wales run Sunday / Monday

Short notice but here's a plan:

Meet Abergavenny bus station at 10am for a 10.30 start.

Roughly, the route is as follows:

Abergavenny - Talybont - Brecon - Garth - Beulah - Newbridge on Wye -
Llandrindod Wells - Talgarth - Ebbw Vale - Abergavenny.

Anyone up for it?

 

I shall be in the area Sunday and Monday.

Itinerary is Home; Caerwent; Ystrad Mynach; Brecon; Llandybie;
Pembroke; Blaenporth; Corris; Llangaffo; Capel Curig; Bylchau; Flint;
Holt; Nomans Heath; Oswestry; Berriew; Eardisley and home.

850 miles. Should be a piece of piss in a day and a half.

Ystrad Mynach?!

I fail to see what we have here that could be of any interest to you!

Anyway. If you want somewhere to crash on Sunday, give me a shout.

 

Some sculpture at a viaduct. In the rain, probably.

 

A circular collection of coal wagons on the Hengoed Viaduct.

Cheers.

Odds are that I'll be coming through late morning time, so I won't be
able to take advantage.

If you do see a red Wing, give us a wave.

Ahhh, that.

It's not very impressive. I pass it almost every day.

 

I feel that way about the Tower of London.

Heh.

But seriously. I can't really understand why that would be in the RBR.
It really is that unimpressive. Took me bloody ages to work out what the
hell it was, too.

 

Wembley. I can see the wretched thing from the house, from LHR, from my
route to work, it's ubiquitously *there*. And it just lurks like a great
lump of uselessness. The Tower or a decent viaduct would be just fine.

Oh, the viaduct itself is quite impressive. ISTR it has 16 arches and
it's definitely quite tall.

The coal wagons are a bit shit, though.

 

It's a cyclist thang...

RBR doesn't rely on "impressive". Not by a long chalk.

.... for a selection of old landmarks.

The Harty Church one is the series of grooves that Linda is pointing
at, not the church.

That's cos it's "art", matey.

I live about 1.5 miles from Sarn services if you want decent coffee :0

He's importing vowels.

 

Will Sir be calling in for tea/coffee/tiffin or whatever and some gratuitous
insults?

on the road between No Mans Heath & Malpas. 'Ware Gravel!

 

I'm rather partial to the Stockport viaduct. Biggest brick structure in
Europe, apparently.

Yup. See you there.

 

*shrugs*

Last email left it at deciding with Paul which was the best day.

Given there was no email contact after that, I was going to send
somthing out today, but forgot.

Oops. It'll just be me. Joanne can't make it but there you go.
Apologies wessie if I've caused any confusion.
