Can’t walk far but here are a couple of pictures I took whilst waiting for my son and his girlfriend to finish shopping in Brecon.

Llanfaes bridge gets a lot of debris, these trees are from the recent storms we had in the UK. The river level will get to within a foot or so of the top of the arch during flooding events, and the footpath I was stood on won’t be accessible.

They closed the bridge in 2019 as the water level was so high.

New integrated tickets and fares introduced for routes linking Brecon, Neath and Ammanford

Transport for Wales say these updates aim to make travel more convenient and cost-effective, with passengers now able to move seamlessly between routes using a single ticket.

Working in partnership, Transport for Wales, Powys County Council and Adventure Travel are introducing this new fare structure which includes through fares from the local bus services (62 and 64) onto the T6 route, providing passengers with easier travel options to destinations including Brecon, Neath, Swansea, and beyond.

Transport for Wales say that with the introduction of lower fares, new flat fare zones, and a new range of multi-ride tickets, customers can now travel more affordably and efficiently across the region.

Ian Robinson, Development lead for fares, ticketing, and modelling (bus), at Transport for Wales, said: “This new ticketing system is designed to provide greater flexibility and make travel simpler for both local and longer-distance commuters. By integrating routes and lowering fares, TrawsCymru, along with local services 62 and 64, is continuing its commitment to sustainable, affordable, and accessible transport in South Wales.”

I and some friends took yesterday off work to take advantage of possibly the last sunny day for awhile to get out into #brecon and some ridge walks across Fan-y-Big and Cribyn. We demurred from Pen-y-Fan as we didn't want to loose the light for the descent given how icy it was. Still it was a brilliant if exhausting walk.

Popped in to #Brecon for the food festival as we were nearby. The trouble is, once you've been to one food festival you've been to them all. It's like Peter Kay's description of party buffet food - welshcakes, local cheese, local gin, local meats, welshcakes, random craft stall selling Christmas tree decorations made from the owner's own hair, local cheese...

Sur et à côté de la Brecon Mountain Railway, au Pays de Galles. Trajet aller en train à vapeur, retour à pied, dans des décors rappelant ceux des highlands écossais.

Pigeon on one of the many clearly old extra bits you see on buildings around #Brecon that leave me wondering what they were for 🤔

A pigeon under the eaves of a building. The roof and guttering is modern but the building of grey stone must be old. From the wall protrudes 3 irregular stones and on those is a flat stone covering them like a shelf. On that shelf are about 4 courses of flat shaped stones of various sizes. On the top at one end is the pigeon. Might it be the remains of a weirdly protruding chimney? Was there a door in the roof for a warehouse or even another floor? I don't know.
