The book includes an interesting gradient profile of the line which fully reveals the challenging nature of the route! The driver and firemen earned their wages on this one!

Took a trip to #Aberhonddu / #Brecon today and stopped for a quick walk to #CadairFawr on the way. Glorious views to #PenYFan but a bit chilly at the #TrigPoint (485m)

A good range of pictures include some early Brecon & Merthyr tank locomotives along with those from the present narrow-gauge line from Pant.

They would go to the various shops that the family dealt with during the year & sing a rhyme (which he can't recall) and the shopkeepers would give them a sweet. This was during the war - rationing meant there were almost no sweets, so this stands out in this memory.

Looking across the Brecons early one summer morning. Bonus points for spotting the sheep atop the ridge.

When I had my DNA analyzed, I discovered the largest part of my genetic heritage is from #Scotland, 40% of me.
I now know most of where my ancestors came from.
There are Swedish immigrants to the US in the 19th century. People from #Wales, near #Brecon. #English settlers, mostly from the south and east.
Ham, my last name, is the name of a tiny village on the north coast of Scotland, but I know nothing about the Ham lineage. Are there Hams in Scotland still?
