Taffs Well Park

A couple of firsts for me today.

The first was a walk to the park as I hadn't seen the  Remembrance Day seats and statues.




or the latest work on the Well, which has quite a history as can be seen from the notice boards.





The old thermal swimming pool


The naturally hot water from the Well is being pumped to the nearby school and will be used for heating purposes.

"With its natural flow of warm water it is soon to embark upon a new lease of life as the common source of energy for two water-to-water heat pump projects. One scheme will provide heating for the nearby Park Pavilion and the other will meet the demands from the local Primary School.  

Heat will be extracted through heat exchangers connected to the existing discharge pipe leading to the river and transferred in insulated pipes to the new heat pumps at the Park Pavilion and School. There will be no change in the Spring flows to the river other than to have a lower temperature water of some 10 degrees C."  from NuVision Energy Wales

Also I had my first ride since the operation and it was good to get back on the bike.
I took the folder and  was pleasantly pleased that it wasn't as painful sitting as I had expected.  I only did a couple of miles but its a start.
