Monday 29th July 2024.
We made a leisurely start to today and opted for the “scenic route”to tonight’s stopover. For the first third of the journey perhaps tortuous would have been a better description with narrow lanes, mountain roads and road surfaces that were challenging. However we survived and stopped for lunch in the Black Mountains overlooking Crai reservoir.
It was a short drive from there to Brecon and Promenade car park that we have stayed on at least three times before, it is next to the River Usk and all afternoon and evening people were enjoying swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding, whilst others had a picnic on the river side.
After consuming an ice cream we walked the short distance into Brecon on a very hot sunny afternoon, we didn’t stay too long, a mixture of not needing anything and not seeing anything special to buy although I did buy two T shirts.
After tea we sat outside for a while until the insects began to become irritating.
Tomorrow morning we return home and will be there by midday.
