Super Slide

Actually it is the Llyn Brianne spillway. The spillway has been used by kayakers to slide down while the water is in flood. However, this activity is banned by Welsh Water, and they issued a statement calling the practice "dangerous" and stating that such activities were banned at the reservoir. The site is now monitored CCTV, a bit of a nuisance if you want a loo stop.

It says on Wiki that he spillway of the dam is a notable tourist attraction when the reservoir is spilling. The dam is the UK's tallest, standing at a height of 300 ft (91 m), and is the world's largest clay core dam. In 1996 the reservoir spillway was increased by 1 metre in height and a hydro electric generating station was added at the base of the dam. When all three turbines are working, it generates 4.3 megawatts of electricity.

A day trip to Wales again today. What seems to have been a good day in Winchester was spent in the car and some of it in rain, well it is Wales. We went back to look at the Chapel and talk to the owner; hopefully the architect will get some sense from the planner/conservation bods in the council so we can make a decision one way or another. We took Adam; his conclusion was we were mad. He was such a polite child.

Many thanks for all the comments on yesterday's buskers. They hit the right note (don't all groan at once) and made the spotlight; thanks.

Must be wine o'clock by now.
