Run to the Elan valley
The
forecast was heavy rain but four of us decided to go anyway (a holed
sump
prevented Dave and Marylin Mawson joining
us). In the event,
it was proven that the sun shines on the ShACC righteous in that we saw
nothing worse
than what might be termed heavy drizzle.
The
route down to the Elan valley was largely on
A roads but through very pleasant countryside and with only very light
traffic
– made us feel sorry again for those in the crowded South East. We went
straight to the café at the visitor centre which is very impressive
with
excellent food. When refreshed, Emlyn led us on a tour of the viewing
points
around the reservoirs and we were able to appreciate the dramatic
setting and
the vast extent of the water storage complex, not to mention the very
interesting roads. A most splendid day out.
