Poet Matthew M. C. Smith says of his A470 poem, Ancient Navigations:

A Manic Street Preachers-fuelled road trip to the Brecon Beacons, indelibly marked in my mind. I slaved over that poem – it is deep and heartfelt. There’s a bit of my soul still on that road.

Mae’n daith a erys yn y cof am byth – gyrru i Fannau Brycheiniog â’r Manic Street Preachers yn danwydd i’r car. Ymlafniais dros y gerdd hon – mae’n dod o’r galon. Mae darn bach o fy enaid ar y ffordd yna
