Apologies for not posting - the weekly visit presents difficulties of its own.
One area I'd be interested in exploring is milestones - here is one measuring distance from/to Presteigne and Rhayader. Each one hand-carved, and one every mile for how many hundred miles? I keep my eyes open for them and wonder about stopping and inching my way back along the A44 to record them. Perhaps local branches of The Milestone Society have already done this. There is a poetry about milestones; recent monoliths, tilting, ignored, slumped in ditches. In the future they will be as valued as wayside crosses. They also help me recognise the modern stretches of the road because there, of course, there are none.
