sorry no time to answer that gotta go to bed now

2 bots of wine and I'm on a prom lol lol lol byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :neenaw:

 

[Artemis]

yes,you are.....but don't let that stand in the way :} .don't personally know the road from llanwrtyd to llyn brianne res.travel through tregaron quite regularly,but never stopped there...toooo many mad farmers...they're doolaly :neenaw: :}

That road is one of the seven wonders of the world, absolutely spectacular. Devil's staircase is 1:3 with hairpin bends and the reservoir bears a striking resemblance to Norwegian fjords. One of our favourite routes when we used to live at Abergwesyn.

After Aber we could go inland via Devil's Bridge, Cwmystwyth and the Elan Valley. Ahhh bliss! Or south via Abereiron, got my whip from there, but that's another story.............
