Ta, you'd've enjoyed this WRT I reckon. Didn't manage to fit in a visit to the Dyfi Valley Hotel though - let us know if it's on your bucket list :smile: . However we did find an excellent Spot not 2 minutes from there so you could imbibe as much as you liked and still sleep well :-bd .

A charming tale, beautifully told, Reg :-).

A truly genius quote from bikepacking's philosophical titan :-bd.

In a similar vein to this...
"Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring” – Desmond Tutu.

Cheers Pete. I think your quote tops mine :smile: .

Just looking at the ancient photos again got me very emotional - but: all very well saying they were the best times of my life, but I quickly realised those recent WRT photos were the best times of my life as well! Thank you Stu, priceless, totally priceless. Yacht, mansion, limo - inconsequential trinkets. In fact my sig is honed just-right now and will be etched upon the monument (*).

(*) not that I'm in any rush, mind.
