A before and after shot of Pencoed Footpath 14 running alongside the Sony factory. Before it was impassable and after it a scenic peaceful route

A fun week on Skomer rebuilding rat detection boxes and enjoying the sights and sounds

A view of Pentre Ifan neolithic chambered tomb in Pembrokeshire on a sunny day. A colossal capstone is balanced on the very points of a set of upright stones. The grass all around is very green.

Just back from a little holiday in unwontedly sunny Pembrokeshire. Pentre Ifan looking so perfect here that even the inadequacies of my cheap phone camera don't detract!

Turning into a nice day in #wales, could do with a bit more breeze on the #hike, but at least the #views are clear. On a bit of the #cambrianway

It’s been a cracking day cycling around Carmarthenshire visiting Llanmihangel Abercowin chapel and Hen Capel in Llanybri. The highlight was definitely a cheeky stop off in the Castle Inn at Llansteffan. #Carmarthenshire #Llamybri #Llansteffan #SirCaerdryddin #Wales #Cymru #Beicio #Abercowin

Have they announced anticipated opening dates yet? I’ll have to search for another off road (ish), flat (ish) cycling route in the Carmarthen area (20-50 miles). Any ideas?

Afternoon was spent checking the bits of the original KesTro #slowwaysuk I didn't manage to do yesterday.

Some great bits, but plotting is way off through some woods. Then through endless fields to Threlkeld, near where it joins my route.

Group of volunteers taking a short break from the footpath clearance work

Hard working volunteers busy clearing the footpath

Pencoed Trailblazers kicked off today. 17 volunteers cleared 410m of paths and collected 55kg of litter. Big thanks to @chriselmoremp.bsky.social for getting stuck in, and to Pencoed Town Council for the kit. We’re back every third Saturday — all welcome. #PencoedTrailblazers #KeepWalesTidy

Having missed the lunar eclipse of the Harvest Moon on the 7th September because of the weather, I ventured out the following evening to capture the moonrise above the Teifi valley.

For #FavouritePlant for #wildflowerhour I’ve picked Hairy St. John’s-wort, Hypericum hirsutum with its funky black stalked glands. It was my first ever ‘first county record’ here in Carmarthenshire 🥳🤓

Four photos of orchids. The first and last have white flowers with purple markings, the middle two have purple flowers.

Four orchids found this year at three nature reserves and one motorway service station. Heath Spotted (Thursley NNR), Southern Marsh (WWT Llanelli), Pyramidal (Beaconsfield Services, M40 J3), Common Spotted (Wilts WT Ravensroost Wood). #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant

Moody looking clouds approaching Parliament Piece.

A beautiful warm day to stroll around Parliament Piece

An Open Spaces local correspondents day is never done. Measuring the size of the gap in the gate to ensure it meets the British standard.

Parliament Piece is owned by the Open Spaces Society and leased to the Wildlife Trust.

I throughly enjoyed the Open Spaces Society members day exploring Kenilworth and the historic Parliament Piece. The myth of King Richard III holding Parliament in 1266 was debunked despite it being a fantastic story! #OpenSpacesSociety #GreenSpaces #Kenilworth #ParliamentPiece #Myths #Warwickshire

Coming soon - meeting at Pencoed pavilion! No tech skills needed, no fancy kit required – just bring your common sense, comfy shoes and whatever the weather demands. We’ll handle the rest.

An advert showing that a group is being formed in Pencoed that will meet on the 20th September at 10 am next to Pencoed pavilion for the first time to be social and do path clearance work. It will improve the community and enhance wellbeing. The group will meet on the third Saturday of every month 10-12 pm

Doing great work keeping the trails in shape around Pencoed.
If you fancy swapping your Saturday scroll for a stroll, this could be a good one to check out. #RightsOfWay #Footpaths #Wellbeing #Cymru #Wales #Pencoed #Social

A photo of a Manx Shearwater, a black and white seabird with a thin, long hooked bill, with the text 'Skomer Island Burrow Cam - Watch Manx shearwaters live'

Our Burrow Cam livestream is back! Tune in to follow the journey of this Manx Shearwater chick as it grows and fledges the nest!

Lake high up on the Carmarthen Fans (mountains), surrounded by steep cliffs.

Llyn-y-Fan Fach, a magical lake which - one of my favourite places. Legend says the entrance to the Underworld is within the lake. Long ago a beautiful lady rose from the lake & fell in love with a local lad. Their sons became physicians & their remedies are still in print today.

A couple stand by promenade railings, silhouetted before a perfect sunset in Aberystwyth, Wales.

Aberystwyth - the place to be for the full West Coast experience...

How's that for a sunset...?

Wye Valley wander this afternoon. Just for a change. Very pleasant to see all the green (except bits in the river)
