So the 200 goes right past the Nant Rhys bothy, perhaps there will be some hot food there for the blagging! Still the BB inn looks the best bet on that section

I love that BP garage, its such throw back to another age, not in decor but attitude. Service with-or-without a smile.

Mae'n rhatach os ydych yn gofyn yn Gymraeg :-bd :-bd

Is the garage in Ponterwydd right on the BB200 route? Or is a little detour required?
Thanks.

Well, it's much easier than digging a hole... but no, it's just quicker to refill water that way than filter it.

(and yes, I know you don't generally need to filter in Wales, but it wouldn't be my first bad experience with not doing so)

Getting to Llanidloes by 11pm would be seriously impressive. Kudos to anyone that manages that.
