Great stuff, Bob. I really enjoyed scrolling through that lot. Sounds like
part of the Epic cycle tour. The countryside is superb & the canal still in
excellent condition. The fence was probably pushed over by a dragon on a
jaunt! I'll have to consider converting my road bike into a hybrid (just
wheels & tyres, basically) so I can do a bit of off-road. The local MB club
is now quite big & road bikes have all but disappeared because dangerous
traffic conditions.

Subject: Brecon Beacons
Last weekend I went to a family wedding that took place near Brecon, in
Wales. It's in a national park and I'd never been there before so I took
advantage of the situation and stayed for 5 nights, cycling round the
beautiful local countryside.
I intend to go back as soon as I can on a walking trip. It's magnificent
country, and the tops of the Beacons are spectacular, but dangerous (it's
where they run the selection tests for the SAS), so you need to be well
equipped to go up there - lycra and poncy little cycling shoes won't cut it.
Here are some photos, taken by a man in lycra and poncy little cycling
shoes:

This is the route of the main ride I did over the top of one of the smaller
hills:
