Cefnllys - busy in the 13th Centuary - nothing much since


I can't remember why I took this road - I think because it looked nice and squiggly and avoided the A roads back to Birmingham.  Now there is just a small chapel but in the various wars-of-the-marches it was very busy indeed - http://www.castlewales.com/cefnllys.html.  I learned as well that there was at least one  "Brian Brampton of Brampton Bryan" - who came to the defense of the castle when it was attacked by Llywelyn.  I know Brampton Bryan very well from Orienteering.






I went for a short run - but this seemed to disturb the resident cattle - so I settled for a quick blast around in Black SAABath
