Up the Wye valley to Llangurig

Day 4 – Llanswen to  Llangurig         68km (42 miles)

The dire prognostications about Storm Hector delivering high winds and rain across 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales today meant the wet weather gear was at the ready.  However it all went to Scotland!!! Take that you midges!!  We had sunny with cloudy periods. 4 days -no rain!  Peachy!  Parfait!

Met another couple cycling the other direction – somewhere in the neighbourhood of our age – keen yet pleasantly wrinkled- and we all came to the agreement the 40 miles of unrelenting hills was quite enough for one day.  Rats! 45 tomorrow and 50 the next day.

Margaret tries talking to a horse in Welsh, but it doesn’t understand a word she says.
Cumulative gain of 2200 ft. What goes up, must come down!
Manor houses (right) were common in this area. Holiday destinations as well as places children from Birmingham could come to during WWII.
Village of Llansantffraid-cwmdaudcwr. Easier to say after a couple of drinks.
Ready or not, here I come!!
From the bag…Made from potatoes born and raised in Wales!!
