going through Machen at 9pm on the SV was scary. It was like "I'd never thought i'd say this but i can't wait for rhiwderin.

Ah yes, but GG and Stretchy did, they left the M4 at Junction 30, to get to ‘Philly from there involves some lanes with real attitude.

What, so you ended up in Rudry?

Those roads are treacherous enough during the day (hate riding them as you can come around a bend to find the bus is taking a racing line coming through the other way) never mind the dark, rainy winter evening when I accidentally discovered them trying to find a quicker way from missus' parents in Llanishen without going over the mountain the usual way.

I can't even wrap my head around it, did they somehow end up in Tongwynlas without going on the A470?

I said, I do recognise this, got into Caerphilly with the castle on the right, remembered where a few things were, but watched the sat nav in a stupid error of judgement and it all went wrong from there. Think I'd have been fine in teh daytime.

The Maenllwydd is a very nice pub, the meals are amazing amd very filling.

I agree with you on those lanes though.
