Just a short bimble round Brecon Beacons to make the most of a dry sunny mild salt-free December day. Felt damn good to be out on the bluetit again, after a month sitting in the garage ( the Bird, not me ).
Lunch on the banks of the Wye at Ross, then Skenfrith to Abergavenny, Tretower, Talgarth, Builth, New Radnor, and Leominster.
Not that I went past Crossgates cafe, but I didn't see another bike out, not even the GS panzer division. ( Only a few old commuter hacks round Glos ring road )
Will take this opportunity to wish all mates on here All the Best at this Festive time.
Regards,
Chris

Not been to Skenfrith for a long time. Is the castle still standing?

'tis indeed, Barrie.
There are some pics from another bimble a few years back here :-
