Cwmtydu - Day 6

We knew we had passed through some spectacular scenery last night (just couldn't see it!) so this morning we drove inland again. Initially the landscape was farmland and we had to take care with oncoming agricultural machinery on the road. The roads then became single tracks and mountainous as we crept across the country in fog then cloud. A highlight and place to stop and admire the view was the Llyn Brianne reservoir, a new hydro-electric facility. The water was coming over the spillway in massive sheets and to my relief and Martin's disappointment the road crossing it was closed to unauthorized vehicles. We had a late lunch at 2pm by the fire at the Talbot Arms in Tregaron. A little local girl of about six sang Christmas songs and wished us a Happy New Year in Welsh, and James met a dog names Benji. He kept calling it Bungee!
