If that was literally true, AFS, I don't think what you are living in would be called a valley bed.
I think that would be a lake.
It is a glacial valley so no that is not true.

How does water get out then?
The source of the River Dare (initial valley river) is a spring on a mountain side. This flows in to the Cynon which flows in to the Taff. Whilst the river has cut a swathe through the valley the remaining countryside is hilly on all sides.

Ah, course, a cwm! Never made the connection.
....O-level geography's come through at last! - a cirque cut off into a bowl shape by the side moraine left behind by a glacier, sometimes with a circular tarn in it- have you still got a tarn AFS?

Cwm means Valley in Welsh. It is not "quite" the same as a Cwm,Corrie or Cirque. The Tarn has vanished. That aside it is a perfect example of glacial valley.

All those hours looking at hanging valleys, U-shaped glaciated valleys, drumlins, cirques, tarns and side/ terminal moraines!

Yep, for a while I was going to go to East Anglia to do a Geology degree but life got in the way!

Could you do one now through the Open University? Friend of ours finished a French degree in his mid fifties through the OU... now he's going to do a Ph.D.

My brain is not what it was. Concentration for any period of time is a huge problem for me

I agree the OU is a great way to learn and get back into it. I did my degree with the OU and while i may be biased i can honestly say they made all the other places i did education with look positively amateur. Its well worth a look and try and you meet some great people.
When a joke takes this much explaining, it probably wasn't worth writing...
So, as I said, not every way out is up hill, or you'd live in a lake, not a valley.
