39. The Welsh Marches & South Wales-15 & 16.08.16

THE ARCHIVE FILES > Archive-2016 > 39. The Welsh Marches & South Wales-15 & 16.08.16
My annual summer trip with Andy. This year, we covered the entire Welsh Marches line and then a fair bit of South Wales. We travelled in my Combo van, whilst not the most luxurious vehicle, it is economical and practical! We stayed overnight at a Travelodge on land that was once occupied by Dai Williams' huge Barry scrapyard. The weather was superb for both the days we were out that made a change!

1. The Welsh Marches & South Wales valleys-15.08.16 After an early start driving through quite foggy weather, we headed for Shrewsbury. We then made our way all the way down the Welsh Marches line fringing the Welsh/English border. In the late afternoon, we covered a couple of the South Wales valleys before heading for our overnight accommodation in Barry. We found a small curry house and enjoyed a convivial evening meal.

2. Barry to Carmarthen-16.08.16 On our second day Andy and I roughly covered the area between Barry and Carmarthen. We then turned for home with a pretty mammoth drive back to Northamptonshire; the old Combo van did well!
