Hi, would you mind adding me to the map too please. I’m in Llanfairfechan, LL33 0SU, and on the 6-month course.
Thanks,
Sam

Halfway between Tenburty Wells and Bromyard and close to Stoke Bliss? Nowhere has shifted its borders recently, obviously!

Please add me to the ssiw map, I live in Llay, Wrexham, North Wales LL12 0LP, and am on the 6 month course. Thank you

Do you live near?

lornarhodes · May 13, 2018, 8:06am

No, sadly. I used to live in Church Stretton, so I can imagine that midwinter, it can feel like the middle of nowhere if you’re reliant on farmers clearing roads of heavy snowdrifts, but surely by May and June you are starting to get the tourists who brave their way a little beyond the Elgar Trail?

lornarhodes · May 13, 2018, 8:07am

I now live in Oldbury, Sandwell, Black Country nr Brum.

Recently moved here from Cheltenham way…so it does feel remote to me…but closer to Wales…
Don’t see many/any tourists really…

lornarhodes · May 13, 2018, 10:39am

Ah, well, by comparison with Cheltenham, I can now understand your viewpoint!

lornarhodes · May 13, 2018, 6:10pm

I suppose even a group in Ludlow (if there is/were one) would be a bit of a trek… I have been enjoying being on the 6 month course for the hangouts, as there isn’t a lot of Welsh spoken in my environs either, which can feel like the middle of nowhere socially, at times.

Have you investigated this:

Good luck finding Welsh-speaking connection, Mike, I am sure you will find some opportunity soon.
