My sister and I have a booking at The Bear, rolled over for months, for us to take up when we're finally able to scatter my Mum's ashes on the Brecon Beacons.

I’m worried he’ll have run out of biscuits by the time I get there!

I hope that visit goes well, LD.

For me, that funny narrow bit of road outside The Bear always means "nearly there" on a journey to the mountains.

I seem to be jogging happily along a bit of fairly pleasant country "A" class road. At least this one has a footpath at the side! Lots of phantom Google-car shadows around me. It was clearly a nice sunny early summer's day when the pics were taken!

I got locked in Travis Perkins for a few days but now out and in Pontypridd - more memories from my childhood. Just off the A470 so might take a trip down memory lane and check out Abercynon and Mountain Ash 😍.

If I swap today'sand tomorrow's runs, I can bag a castle today. That also makes sense as I am forcing DS to take me to the gym tomorrow with his free guest pass (only seems fair sunce I pay his membership but he is so embarassed that we are going to a different branch to hide from his mates).

I'd love to hit Monmouth, but in order to stay in one piece, it is a few kms of run/walking and/or Nordic Walking, which can be much longer but I haven't had time nor energy for a few weeks and want to get back on my bike, which doesn't count for this challenge :)
Although a favourite ride does take in a lot of castles, including Chepstow and Hay...

Hanneke, we’re about 20 miles the opposite direction from Abergavenny to you, so fairly close.

Spent the night on the Mon & Brec canal, but that’s a black hole. HOTV road was the nearest place I stopped before.
About to go past the remains of Crickhowell castle and Tretower Court & castle today, 2 little castles not quite on the route.
