Started for St. David’s. Course S.W. {167e} After walking about 2 m. crossed Pelkham Bridge {167f}—it separates St. Martin’s from Camrwyn {167g} parish, as a woman told me who was carrying a pipkin in which were some potatoes in water but not boiled. In her other hand she had a dried herring. She said she had lived in the parish all her life and could speak no Welsh, but that there were some people within it who could speak it. Rested against a shady bank, {167h} very thirsty and my hurt foot very sore. She told me that the mountains to the N. were called by various names. One the [Clo—?] mountain. {167i} The old inn {167j}—the blind woman. {167k} Arrival of the odd-looking man and the two women I had passed on the road. The collier [on] {168a} the ass gives me the real history of Bosvile. Written in Roche Castle, a kind of oblong tower built on the rock—there is a rock within it, a huge crag standing towards the East in what was perhaps once a door. It turned out to be a chapel. {168b} The castle is call’d in Welsh Castel y Garn, a translation of Roche. The girl and water—B---? (Nanny) Dallas. {168c} Dialogue with the Baptist {168d} who was mending the roads. Splendid view of sea—isolated rocks to the South. Sir las {168e} headlands stretching S. Descent to the shore. New Gall Bridge {168f}. The collier’s wife. Jemmy Remaunt {168g} was the name of man on the ass. Her own husband goes to work by the shore. The ascent round the hill. Distant view of Roche Castle. The Welshers, the little village {168h}—all looking down on the valley appropriately called Y Cwm. Dialogue with tall man Merddyn? {168i}—The Dim o Clywed. Solva, &c. {168j} St. David’s. Commercial Inn. {169a} [August] 28th, Friday. St. David’s. [August] 29th, Saturday. Started for Fishguard or Aber Gwayn. {169b} Abereiddy—Matrice {169c}—came at last to Fishguard upon the coast. Commercial Inn. [August] 30th, Sunday. Fishguard to Newport—the public house—the old good humoured talkative landlady. Gin and water—Bayvil parish—Aber Tafi {169d} on the left—broad and beautiful bridge. Cardigan Inn—the 3 com. trav.—Recd letters from wife. [August] 31st. Burning day. Stopped within, the greater part of it—felt unwell—cholera pains. Sept. 1st. To Llechrhyd, thence to Kilgerran Castle and back to Ll.—Pont Kennarth. New Castle Emlyn. Salutation Inn. Rain during the night. Sept. 2nd. To Lampeter Inn. Sept. 3rd. Lampeter to Llandewy Brevi {169e}. [Dr. Knapp here adds “the rest impossible; all mts. and obscure places not on maps”]. Sept. 5th. To Builth. Sept. 6th. Start from Builth for Presteyne (Sunday). Radnorshire Arms. Asked waiting maid if Presteign was in Wales—“No,” she replied. “Is it in Hereford, then?” “No, Sir, in Radnorshire”. * * * * * [Paris, 26 Aug. 1908.
