NB There are Three Public House located in this Area other than the Scots Pine, they are the Travellers Well at Rhyd y Fro and Masons Ams at Rhyd y Pandy.

Stop Press: if it rains,. I mean torrentially, there will, of course, be a need to improvise. You could retreat to the pubs, visit Ammanford, Pontardawe or Pontardulais to do some shopping and there is Morriston and Swansea near by. Also,  ISwansea, there are two museums to visit. If mildly raining/showers and cold, we can then stick it out but speed it up as it will get cold, just cross fingers and hope it is sunny. But of course, this is Wales!
