I went for a walk on the other side of the river yesterday afternoon, through the new glamping site - every time I go they've added a bit more to it. This time I paused to admire the arrangement of tree roots planted with ferns near the Meadow "tree house".
On the way back I met some neighbours walking their little dog. They'd stopped at a bench to look at the view over the field up the hill from the path, where the barley has just been harvested.
We walked back into Hay together, chatting, and as we came over the bridge, a tuk tuk went past us! (They're also known as auto rickshaws and are used as taxis in the Far East). It had flags flying - the Union flag and the Welsh flag - and a sign on the back saying "Follow the tuk tuk".
Just as we were saying "What on Earth was that?" three more tuk tuks came across the bridge, and off they all went together.
This morning I did a little research, and found the Facebook page Adventures in a Tuk Tuk very easily. They're doing a tour of Wales. They've been wild camping at Arthur's Stone and their latest entry talks about the former coaching inn at Garthmyl where they're staying the night. They also seem to have a support vehicle, a big van, so they can do repairs as they go.
[Edited to add: the nice tuk tuk man has just sent me this photo!
