The wild fires above the #Elan Valley have spread across into #Ceredigion and are now nearing the forestry above the #Hafod estate near #Cwmystwyth.

Wind is a brisk easterly, so it's not looking good for the forestry.

Rural postmen had a tough job in the 19th and 20th century, and these huts provided somewhere to rest and cook on their journey. Bit of a different world before the little vans arrived!

There are thought to be only eight or so left in existence in the UK and this one's being saved by the community in #Cwmystwyth.
