We are literally at my house!

We cross the road and board the 1605 Cardiff Bus City Circle service 1 to Roath (Inverness Place), arriving there at 1642 on Thursday (very optimistic timings mind; in reality it'll be more like 5 o'clock by the time it navigates UHW!).

That is a very quick return back to Barry!

Just double-checking whether we're happy as a group to continue with the doubling-back straight to Barry, before I prepare my next move?

If we are happy, then I think we shall have to stop off overnight, and return in the morning for the 0651 Stagecoach South Wales service 81 to Pentrebach (Dyffryn Road/Poplar Terrace), arriving there at 0703 on Friday morning.

In my opinion we've played too many moves. IE: Going back would be pointless.

In that case, the post below is where we should continue.

I forgot there was a Birchgrove in both Swansea and Cardiff....:oops:

It's lost I am, so having struck-through my last posting, I will wait for someone else to carry on.

Do you want to make another move instead so that we can carry on playing? You are entitled to repost another move.

We have already used Cardiff Bus 27 for the last two valid moves and I have already admitted I am lost in this part of Cardiff (already mistakenly thought we were in Swansea) and refuse to make yet another intermediate journey on the 27 and it is a tad unfair to ask me to do so.

It isn't unfair. There is also the 2, 8, 9, 15, 23 and X8 all serving this area too.
