Afon Rhondda Fach The river has come down from the Lluest-wen Reservoir, the dam of which can be seen just below the skyline. A road from the reservoir follows the north bank. In the foreground is Pont Lluest-wen, carrying footpaths but not vehicles across the river.

Lluest-wen Reservoir At the head of the reservoir would have been where a number of streams met to form the embryonic Afon Rhondda Fach.

Nice room. Awful TV. The TVs really need upgrading. Lovely shower. Polite staff. Not as bubbly and friendly as usual but still efficient.
