Well I'm in South West Wales, near the Preseli Hills - very near actually, walked up on of the smallest yesterday.
So mid West Wales is like Aberystwyth, Morrag somewhere near Gower?
I was in Wales towards the end of August. Took my Mum up. She lived between Aberystwyth and Aberaeron for about 25 years until about 8 years ago. We stayed a few days in Aber visiting her friends around that area then drove home via the A487 cutting over to Carmarthen to see my Brother. Also visited my old house nr Carmarthen on the way which I left nearly 20 years ago. I had a lovely big spa bath put in when I lived there. We even moved a wall to fit it. As we pulled up outside, my lovely bath was dumped outside the house. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry!
I didn't think I'd visit that way again but it was nice going over the mountains (we went via Leintwardine in N Herefordshire). It was very hot and there were loads of bikes about especially around Rhayader where there are some lovely sweeping roads.
We used to love driving around your way, very pretty. I think the A487 is a great road, all the way to the A40 with so many lovely places veering off it. We'd often spend a day and do the circular route and loop back to Carmathen via Synod Inn, Fishguard, Milford Haven, Pembroke and Tenby or variations of that route. Such great roads and beautiful scenery, well minus the oil refinery!
Haven't the stacks just been demolished? Bet it looks strange now after them being there for so long. Do you ever go that way?
So all that time ago, I might have even been past your house (assuming you were there then
). I didn't realise Morrag is in the Gower. We loved it around there too. As for Hornet, we used to live in the same place and go to school together! I've been about these past two months. I was even near Merv I think recently. I stayed in a hotel in Quedgeley because I was meeting people in Painswick. Perhaps he'll let me know. Small world.
P.S. Biker Gran, I know you mentioned the Google Map recently but I can't remember if you said it still exists or not. Can you let me know please.
