Llangorse [Llangors] is a pretty village with a lake and a common and wild, or at least free-roaming, horses. Also, due to the continuing unusually hot weather, a series of scrub fires up in the hills which added a dash of excitement to the scene, specially at night. It’s an “outdoor activities” sort of area, with young people walking around in hiking boots or kayaks on their backs.

We only stayed for a couple of nights but managed walks around the lake and along the hills avoiding fires. Also, Lucy and I launched my inflatable canoe, which I haven’t used for well over a year. No leaks. We circumnavigated the lake. Lucy didn’t move for the first half hour but relaxed when she started to realise that we might not drown after all.
