Camping in the Town of Books - Part 1 (Cycling 22 miles across Wales' highest road pass)

I've wanted to visit the Town of Books (Hay-on-Wye) for decades. Then in 2022, the 800 year old Hay Castle was opened to the public for the first time. With the bad weather finally behind us, I was ready to embark on my journey...
