Aberystwyth, Wales - 4-7 August

After the Pembrokeshire walk I took the bus from Cardigan further up the coast to Aberystwyth - a beautiful place to wander around. I stayed with Lynda Thomas, Diana and Paul. Lynda works at the University of Aberystwyth.
Lynda, Diana and I spent a day travelling around the Dyfi valley visiting the town of Machynlleth, the Welsh castle Castell-y-bere and a mountain called Cadair Idris .
I also spent a morning with the Aberystwyth Ramblers on a walk near the Afon Dyfi.
