We've announced a new director for Wales & South West We've announced the appointment of Ben Cottam as the director for its historic canals spanning Wales & South West of England.

A new career step later in the summer for me. Leaving FSB after an enjoyable and fulfilling 9+ years but very excited to be taking up the role of Regional Director for Wales and the South West at the Canal and River Trust

Chasing the #sunrise on my #Easter morning run. A beautiful morning in #Pembrokeshire and a run on a deserted coast path was the best way to start the day #running #ukrunchat

Thanks, Toby! I’m glad it was the half rather than the marathon but a great day for a run nevertheless!

A nice morning running in the beautiful #forestofdean for the #fodhalfmarathon. My first time running this event but hopefully not my last. Brilliantly organised with super friendly and supportive marshals. A great trail #halfmarathon in lovely surroundings #ukrunchat #running

Sunrise #Sunday. A very cold night last night but a beautiful view out of the bedroom window. Just the right day for a run and some time in the garden.
