Small old quarry It looks as if has been decades since this quarry was last used, but as the sign says "No Dumping" there must have been rubbish dumped here over the years and someone has to clear it away. Walking up to the cross roads at Bwlch Cefn from the main B4342 (steep hill) through a wooded section, there was loads of rubbish tipped in the trees.

Cycle route 3e The familiar blue signs with a bicycle on it and a route number, but the right part of this sign I have not seen before, as I had just walked up this road, and it was steep, could this be a symbol to the cyclists for risk of going "saddle over handlebars"?
