Pony Express .
Last week, Britain's only remaining mounted postman retired in favour of a Land Rover. In the inevitable march of civilisation, four legs gave way to four wheels. Dai Jones, hill farmer and part-time postman, of the wild, wet mountain country nearly Tregaron, Cardigan-shire, has left Tregaron Post Office before 8 o'clock three mornings a week for the last eleven years, to deliver and collect the mails at eight remote farmhouses buried deep in hills on the Cardigan-Brecknock border. To get there, he forded the River Camddwr once and the infant River Towy twice. Sometimes he had to walk in front of his horse, prodding snow with a long pole. But he has never failed to get through less than once a week, even during the winter of 1947. Dai does not expect that he will be able to put his uniform and mailbag away for good. He knows these hills like the back of his hand, and he knows that when the winter comes, they will have to call on four legs again. He knows that the time will come when four wheels will never get within miles of Dolgoch . When that happens, Britain will again have a ' pony express ' in operation, if only temporarily .
PICTURE SHOWS:- Dai returning to Tregaron from the mountains .
