OMG! It was a winter wonderland! Well, not quite, as no snow, but the ice was thick on the ground and the skies were as blue as they could be!
2000 Footers – 1
A couple of years back Andy delivered a series of walks across the Brecon Beacons National Park and they were a great success, taking in, one range or ridge or peak at a time, all of the hills over 2000ft.
Cardiff Sea Safaris
This company let us down badly and then we assume complained to Trip Advisor when we gave them a one star review and because we are a business Trip Advisor took the review down for fear that Wales Outdoors, a walking business, is a competitor of Cardiff Sea Safaris, a boat hire company. So, we thought we’d blog the details instead.
Kenfig Pool
Andy’s first walk of 2020 was a very successful wander around the wonderful Kenfig Pool Nature Reserve. Billed as a castle, a well, a beach and a pool this walk has much to offer in the way of interest.
The Sleeping Giant
And on the first Sunday of the New Year the walking baton was handed to Graham and he led a very enjoyable wander over the amazing small mountain called Cribarth at the the top end of the Swansea Valley.
New Year New Me!
Our very first walk of 2020 was led by Melitsa and was her New Year new Me Wye Valley Walk. This very popular walk starts near Goodrich and takes in the highlights of the area, King Arthur’s Cave, Symonds Yat, Biblin’s Wibbly Wobbly Bridge…
Berchtesgaden & Salzburg
Andy and Kate spent New Years in Hitlers favourite place, Berchesgaden. It’s in the Bavarian Alps and is stunning! The walking is great, the mountains are gorgeous and no one does the festive season better than the Germans with outdoor markets and a good likelyhood of crisp snow.
Like the other monster business’ that dominate our lives, google, it is plain to see, has no care for or empathy with their clients. And their clients are us. Once we truly understand that the likes of fb and google and twitter are cash making machines then we are able to step back a little and wonder at the power that these entities wield.
Andrew Hocking Photography
Andrew got in touch to share his recent blog post highlighting his personal choice of ‘best photos’ from his trips to Wales in 2019.
Greyhounds!
Mali was adopted back in late November and is settling in well, learning our routines, creating new routines all of her own and being there to provide unconditional love and a very good excuse to take lots of exercise… man is she better behaved after having had a walk 🙂
