Bannau Brycheiniog by Cycle
Trapp to Glyneath
I awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and radiant blue skies. I climbed out of my tent, stretched my arms and legs gazing up at the mighty Carreg Cennen Castle. It was going to be a glorious day. I could just feel it.

The first part of the trip was to simply cross the valley to Pontypool and join the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal (NCN Route 49) at the Pontymoile Boat Basin. From there, I followed the canal path for another 27 easy miles to my first night of camping at the village of Talybont-on-Usk.
This was going to be my "big day". I had over 40 miles of mountainous climbing along unknown roads and conditions. I was not happy to think that I'd also be navigating all of that in the rain. I fixed my breakfast, broke camp, packed the bike (wet!) and got on the road. There was no time for photos or dreamy reflection. I had to get going. Urgh.
