Given the recent good weather and the excellent forecast for the weekend, the campsite office was displaying a ‘campsite full’ sign and the field had motorhomes, caravans and tents all around the field. Having said that, there was still a huge amount of space in the centre of the field.
Our son Simon and partner Katie arrived just before lunch time and pitched their tent on our very generous pitch. We had planned a couple of longish walks over the weekend but my condition meant that we had to compromise. The canal provided a simple, level and stile-free walk and in the afternoon we set off at a very slow pace in southerly direction past the two pubs and along the towpath. After about a mile I had to turn back and left the others to walk on.
In the evening we went to the closest pub, The Star Inn, that advertised real ales and an award from CAMRA . We ordered food and were warned that the wait would be at least an hour and, although it was nearly an hour and a half, we didn’t really notice as we were too busy catching up on the news. The food was good when it arrived and the real ales (a good selection) were excellent.
Photos: Jane and Katie by the canal at the edge of the village – the stone building opposite is a massive set of limekilns and here a long tramway from the Brecons beyond brought quarried limestone in trucks like the one in the foreground; A canal boat enters the very low Ashford Tunnel south of Talybont.
