Mapped from what ‘claimed’ to be Llandysul to Pontwelly worked fine, and the further ride to Llangadog was also without mishap. There was a constant flow of Classic Cars on some sort of Jolly Rally, but was never in the right place at the right time for the most retro conveyances.
I was joined for a short time by a leisure/pleasure cyclist. Negotiated a sandwich at the Goose & Cuckoo (doubly mad) but no one there seemed to have heard of Talsarn – my next spreadsheet place.
Help was at hand in the form of the leisure/pleasure man who had an OS map and rode part of the way with me to the unknown location. Then it was red kites, flashing down long hills and up shorter ones till Brecon was reached.
At one point I had ETA down as nine-thirty, but thanks to the long ‘downhills’ it was far earlier!
Walsham would not be the same without the village church and the regular sound of the church bells.
