This week we\u2019re heading back to early spring in the Welsh hills. But for the second Plodcast in a row, we\u2019re not on foot.<\/p>\n

Following last week\u2019s paddleboarding on the river Wye, plodcast host Fergus takes to two wheels to explore the hills of his beloved Bannau Brecheiniog. Borrowing an electric bike, he follows an old railway line into the wild to see how far he can get on a single battery charge \u2013 and get home again.<\/p>\n\n\u00a0<\/p>\nThis is episode 13 of
