No Prisoners

The Amman valley 'trotting' track belies it's camp name. Situated in the Welsh village of Tairgwaith, it was built in 1979 on the reclaimed site of two coal slag heaps, spoil from the Maerdy and Steer deep mines. It's a hard, cold, grey shale 1/2 mile, the fastest circuit of the UK short track season. IF my bike is ready, I plan to make use of that diagonal short-cut. BP
