Amongst all the leafless trees is this one evergreen sticking out.

Looking inside abandoned shack

Couldn't enter due to overwhelming amount of trees, nettles and a very tight gap for space. Looks like people have been in here though.

Heath and many stone walls

No idea if this area has any historical significance or not.

Two generations apart, Pontypridd â 1979

A remarkable view of two buses owned by the same operator but with an age gap of 30 years. On the left is no.25, a Leyland National new in 1977, on the right 51 is a Bristol L with Beadle bodywork new in 1947 which somehow managed to survive with its original owner for over 30 years, with a couple of withdrawals and re-instatements. It survived into preservation and in 2022 forms part of a fleet of classic buses in Belgium. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Link Instead of the bus layby, there is now a purpose built bus station at this location Link
