Summer of 76
Summer of 76 ... me and Vincent Stokes camping up the quarry, oopps fire, daming the river down the rugby field and swimming all summer long ...best days of my life. Wattsville was the dogs, Beechwood Ave.

Pont-Y-Waun
This is a view of Pont-y waun from Pont-y-waun bridge. If you look closely you can just make out the canal that ran parallel to the railway line. In the background is the Rhwsg mountain which I had the pleasure to climb frequently as a kid and even recently on my mountain bike!
