Indeed. I like that rugged, ancient look...I loved Ireland and expect Wales to be quite similar. My dad, who passed away a few years ago, was born and raised in Cardiff, which is one of the reasons I am doing this ride. My grandparents (deceased) lived in Chester too, but I don't think I've been back there in the last 15 or so years. My nerves are getting up now that I am 4 days away from departure and I feel like I have so much stuff left to do to get ready!
