The first port of call today was Bridgend Motor Factors for exhaust putty and bandage to try to keep the manifold to downpipe quiet.

They were very helpful and allowed me to carry out the repairs in their car park. Great guys.

 After a few wrong turns we found our way out of Bridgend and were back on the planned route with a much quieter exhaust.

We passed through Porthcawl and round Port Talbot & Swansea. Port Talbot wasn't the most beautiful place on the way in.

We reached Mumbles Head after a long crawl in traffic due to roadworks. We lunched on a bench in lovely sunshine. It's a peaceful relatively uncommercial place, a real treat these days.

From there it was along some lovely roads up to Llanelli. We passed the 2000 mile mark in Pembrey.

Along these lovely roads towards Carmarthen we saw a sign for a tea room and quickly turned down the lane. It turned out that they were closed. That was on the sign but we didn't see it. They made us coffee anyway. Super people.

We arrived at Ty Cassell, a beautiful B&B out in the countryside with a river at the bottom of the garden.

108 miles today.

    Take an old couple and an even older car, add in over 4000 miles of driving and this is the result. This is the story of Numbum's drive round the UK coastline, driven by Owen and ably navigated by Pam. We hope you enjoy the journey. We will.
