The forecast was for rain today, so instead of the original planned walk, Scott decided to lead a local walk from the house taking in some waterfalls.
We left and followed a path through the woods next to the river, the Afon Artro.
After an hour or so we reached the entrance to the Nantcol waterfalls. It turned out there was a £1 entry charge per person, but we went in. We followed the route up to the top waterfalls.
It was still raining a bit so we found a sheltered spot under a tree to have our lunch.
After exiting the waterfall walk we carried on to complete a loop, which involved some nice countryside walking then a bit on the road, with a final stretch by the river. It ended up being about 11 km of walking.
When we got back to the house we used Oscar's drying bag for the first time, it was quite effective and he didn't seem to mind being put in it too much.
Pauline and Stuart said their goodbyes and headed back to Shropshire.
Later a few of us went out for a drink to the Ty Mawr Hotel just up the road, which was a popular place and pretty good.
For dinner Pete and Jenny made a dish of pasta with butter beans and tomatoes. Various puddings followed, including panettone and last night's chocolate torte.
