One of our members, Cath, is the owner of a rather lovely boutique B & B (that title really does not do it justice) and if you are coming from afar for one of our walks then we highly recommend seeing if she has availability…
Cardiff Jet / Cardiff Sea Safaris / Cardiff Council
Oh my, what a sorry tale of poor customer service, fraud, complicity in criminality and absolute disregard for the visitor to Cardiff by Trip Advisor and Cardiff Council…
8 Waterfalls Walk With Wales Outdoors
To be brutally honest, the weather was looking just a little bit worse than awful. The heavens had opened yet again the day before, causing more flooding and I was in two minds as to whether to join the 8 Waterfalls Walk organised by Andrew Lamb of Wales Outdoors.
Before The Lockdown…
Graham is our foraging expert and just before the lockdown he led a walk that up-skilled participants with the tools for surviving the zombie apocalypse (and also taking in the highest waterfall in the Brecon Beacons National Park).
Free Friend!
Yes, for any of our day walks you can bring one friend for FREE if you have liked the Wales Outdoors page on fb and have become a member of ‘Wales Outdoors’. This offer is a one time opportunity and is valid while your standing order payments are being made.
The Government And Police
I think therefore that it is time to, on occasion, explore a little further afield, to leave the parks for those who don’t drive or can’t travel. After all, walking outside to my car and driving a short distance to somewhere where I will see less people than if I were walking the streets and parks of Cardiff has to be a good thing.

THE MONDAY MOAN – A once a week spot for us to moan about the stuff that perhaps we should all be moaning about that little bit more…
Why The Wye?
Melitsa is so very lucky with the weather. You remember that time when it didn’t stop raining don’t you? The floods? It seems oh so long ago and given this current run of glorious weather and the corvid crisis but a dim memory.

Landowners
A good few years back an aerial survey of the UK was undertaken and when all of the high quality images were stitched together and laid out on a giant map it was found that much of the country was, in fact, that. It was mostly countryside.
Just A Walk With Wales Outdoors
Starting near Storey Arms we took an easy route to the tops and ticked off CCG and Fan Frynich in quick succession before following the Beacons Way over to Fan Llia. This is where we were caught in a very painful hailstorm.
Getting Out?
I thought I’d share my personal opinion on the current restrictions in place and also share UKGov advice. So, first off, a rather nice video explaining the countryside code at this extraordinary time…
Credit Guidelines
Due to the Corona Virus we have re-scheduled all walks due for March through to June and are working on a database to credit those that have paid for walks. These are our guidelines…
Waterfalls Walking
It was a big water day but bright and sunny too – in fact a perfect day for a walk in the waterfalls area of the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Brecon Beacons National Park To Build Visitor Centre On Pen Y Fan Summit
The centre will be powered by a range of renewables, wind and solar in the main. A daily 4×4 shuttle bus will run in the morning and again in the evening taking and returning staff and resources to the cafe and removing rubbish from the site. This could be replaced by 2027, if stage three of the development plan can be successfully funded, by a funicular railway that would make use of water to assist the carriages ascent and descent.
