In all the trips we have made to wales over the years it occured to us we had never seen Cardiff or the Castle therein. So we set out on a mission, to be revealed tomorrow that would include taking in Cardiff Castle. Coming from the South of England the rate of non British expansion came as a bit of a shock, where have all the welsh gone. As to the castle well we managed to drive past, then drive around for an hour looking for a suitable parking space before giving it up as a bad job. So we took a trip up the Rhondda Valley to Treorchy then turned left and parked for the night overlooking the Rhondda. I parked in exactly the spot that I parked on my first visit to Wales in 1967. This time I have a camera with me, the view is the same and still surrounded by sheep. It is a wonderous place and am really glad to have found it again. No phone numbers so cant arrange any meets and think Mike and Caroline live not too far away. Never mind another day tomorrow. Have to be in Maestaig by mid morning. More to follow with photos.
