Day 9 - cycle Pantyffynon

 A slow start after a poached eggs on toast at Airbnb . Prepared the bikes and we cycled first up towards the golf club . Had it in the neck from H as it was an immediate hill . 

Cycled along riverside path to 48 . The place looked okay , the iron needs cleaning away and work has commenced at 54. That’s good to see . A strange view on Google maps as it showed load of cars along the road . Had to install Google earth to find out the date. It was April 23td the day of mam’s funeral . !! 

It was really nice just to be at 54 , well after all it is home . 

Cycled on riverside path to Pantyffynon calling in for coffee at Coaltown and met Wyn Hogarth and his wife Wendy just on path beyond Tesco Ammanford. Funny that we could chat without seeing each other for over 40 years . 

The train was due in half an hour at Pantyffynon so locked up the bikes and took train to Llandovery for an hour catching the return at 1650. Didn’t pay on the train as I assume he thought we lived in Wales where travel on the heart of wales line is free for over 60s in winter. 

Return by 1845 for a meal at Airbnb . A good day out .
