Can I just thank everyone involved, and those who turned up, for a wonderful day.
The old quack, Roger Morgan, was very entertaining and gory enough for all. David Llywellyn gave us an insight into the regeneration of the area and Frank scared us half to death with his folk tales! See you the next time. |

Wish I'd known you were there and we'd have introduced ourselves. |

Yes, a pity. I went home after the mornings events, forgot to bring my walking boots, and came back for the afternoons events.
I even managed to have a short chat in Welsh with another man, Kerry ?, who lives in Abertillery. Made my day. |

I wish I'd known you were there too, I know who you are but never met you. I really enjoyed Roger Morgan's event but we had to leave before the afternoons event as David had to be somewheres else and unable to do the walk Would have loved to have heard the second part so hope to catch him again at the next one although we had a really interesting chat at lunch time he has some interesting tales to tell | ||
