Some of the research I did 7 (!) years ago into the locations used by Bruce Davidson in Ebbw Vale (not Cwmcarn) in the mid 60s. The girl with the pram is Sandra, who didn't want to be photographed, and the boy in the blazer is Alan. All in Waun Lywd

Ran the Scenic 7 race at Cwmcarn Forest this evening- 7 miles with some tasty elevation to say the least. Had no expectations but finished under an hour which delights me. All worth it for the views ❤️🏴 #runsky #running #southwales

Cracking views of a 2nd cal-yr Goshawk along the towpath whilst rolling back from Cwmcarn. Initially on prey on the towpath, then sat just above eye-level less than 10m away, before turning and heading off through the trees with its Grey Squirrel lunch. #gwentbirding #birdingbybike #lowcarbonbirding

How is everyone this fine morning? Probably find me on zwift later, or possibly Cwmcarn this afternoon, but I’ll see how the day goes. I prefer riding in the morning for some reason.
