Today I’m going to be travelling from here at Rhoose Point, the most southern point of Wales to the most northern town in Wales (Cemaes Bay)! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 All without leaving Wales! So that rules out all of our train network! Buses it is! It’ll take me 14 hours so follow along here! 😁🚍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Just into Brecon. Some fella on the bus just went to the driver and asked where he should get off for the national park. The driver very unsympathetically answered “um remember when everyone got off the bus mate, then” 😂😂

Update about my ticket. The driver on the T4 has sold me the wrong one, so it’s not valid on non stagecoach run services. This driver has let on for free though, so I might have to get a ticket from Mach to Bangor when I shouldn’t have to
