Blaenllechau: 180? turn
This junction is, well, not quite 180° but not far off, meaning that, to continue your journey, you need to turn right and do a U-turn at the mini roundabout (in the distance) and continue downhill to Ferndale (bottom left of picture). Anything but the smallest of cars would have to do the same in the other direction.

Blaenllechau: empty shops
On 27 February 2008 the post office will close down and, probably, resemble its two neighbours – boarded up and lifeless. It is difficult to think of a kind of shop that might open here and thrive.
