Many moons ago I was brought up in Cwmparc and I used to go to Solva just down the road from Brawdy on holidays. Seeing your pics Gareth gave me hiraeth as I now live in Spain and haven't been back to Wales since all my family passed away. Didn't realise that I was so homesick - daft at my age but there you go.

if you go to Ty rhiw colliery, you can still find pieces of the old colliery which collapsed in the early 40`s buryin the workers inside, my history tells me, the front was sealed up out of respect for the miners still trapped inside, the hillside still holds divets (we Ty rhiwians call bomb holes)where the mine shafts have collapsed, the main tunnel into the colliery still remains with the hooks on the wall to mount the lanterns are still there when i looked 4 years ago

Excellent shot looking North from the railway bridge and the cones on the left (Pen-Y-Dre)give away the fact that Rhiwbina festival was on.

A favourite haunt as a kid for me too - thee bears caves were kinda scary too -has anyone taken pics of the Tumpah off Bryn Teg?

OK then, Castell Coch from the rear.

It is such a pleasure cycling on the Swansea promenade, sand dunes, surfers etc.
