Day 37: Fri 22 Jul – Carmarthen to Cowbridge

Ride: 105km

Was up late as I had two beers in my room last night – can’t handle it anymore! Received a call from Besi about 9am then headed off. Headed south to beat the headwind. Roads were narrow and fairly busy – a bit of a worry. A long, long day in the saddle without much to see.  Llanelli was a busy, dirty, dull coastal town. Had a cup of tea (no pots) and a rest and then rode on trying to get to Swansea. Couldn’t find much public space!! All “PRIVATE KEEP OUT”, even in the countryside. Not even space to get off onto the side of the road to have a rest. Had to use bus stops which still had the traffic. Just ads to my dislike for Southern Wales. Cowbridge was the best I’ve seen yet – lovely beer garden with flowers. £55 for a room which is overpriced but did include breakfast.

A typical house in Southern Wales
