Around Brecon....

As forecast, Sunday is another cloudy but dry day.It is a refreshing change to leave our panniers in the hotel as we explore the area.We all make it as far as Talgarth but then Judy and Tim speed off with the really keen group to cycle up a nearby mountain whilst the rest of us softies stop for coffee in a community cafe and visit the table top produce market. Later,quiet country lanes, lined with wild flowers and backed by mountain views, lead us to Hay-on-Wye. The bikes are locked up in a big pile so we can explore the historic streets of bookshops and cafes.Cycle route 8 leads us most of the way back to Brecon up and down farm tracks, wet with water streaming off the hills from last week's rain.Every field is home to sheep and big lambs.The last stretch into town is along the canal where two pretty hire barges chug past.
Ian has trained it to Cardiff to retrieve their car,so he and Janet can drive home tomorrow.
