Just spent a week in the fatherland (hiraeth is a longing thing). The scenery is utterly gorgeous. The rivers are warm-swamm a lot in the Rheidol, Ystwyth and up by Soar-y-Mynedd. And surfs up!
Go there before the second week of September!
Report on MCN about the local chief of police for North Wales-he wishes to ban bikes in national parks. Report in local news-same police chief gets made into a bard at the eisteddford (he's English but it seems he's written a poem in Welsh). This was after he had the chief bard a speeding ticket. Said he hoped his victim had a sense of humour.
