Midday Friday,  Dear KB, A sharp shower allowed me to stop for a pint in Llangadog. Landlady busy with her bible. We fell out, her being a Methodist. Couldn't finish the bitter - thnakfully rain stopped.  GB The text and image are missmatched. The text is tied to Llangadog the image from further along the route to Swansea at Saron. As you will note from the dates this piece of work is old and I am not sure, without further reference, where this image and text fitted into the narrative. The work is complete in this form. My intention from 2007 is realised, at last. - KB

Friday p.m. The Inn at Gutter Vawr  Dear KB, The locals were a bit wary of me at first, but I think I brought them round. Still wet, hope for better tomorrow.  Regards GB

Friday P.M.  Dear KB, The night is coming on fast and I am uneasy about the mist pouring down the mountain. Looking forward to some warmth at the Inn.  Regards GB

10 March 2007 Dear GB, Arrived at the car park just up the road from Tro'r Gwcu. Bumped into Viv and Delyth taking in the view and enjoying the peace. Wind still sharp so no ice creams today. Regards KB.

10 March 2007. Dear GB, The cold wind has given me earache. Surprising the number of cars on this mountain road. On to the top, then to the car park.  Regards KB

10 March 2007. Dear GB, It is about this point that I wish I had kept up my walking like you have done. Spent too much time reading. Fine day though, wind a little chilly.  Regards KB

10 March 2007 Dear GB,  Llangadog - weather fine and bright - warm for the time of year. While snapping away I noticed the boulders around the village green. Might prove inconvenient for your chums.  Regards KB
