THE potential loss of H Cafe, the popular haunt for motorcyclists in the summer, will be a blow for the county.

Setting aside the minority of idiots who would race along the A4074, the cafe was a real magnet for bikers from across the county and neighbouring areas in the summer and gave the area its own distinct identity.

Landlord Sean Harris has blamed the credit crunch but it is a pity he was just a few weeks from being able to rely on those dozens of motorcycling visitors again to boost cash flow.
