Black Mountains Wild Camping: Top Tips and Beautiful Spots

The Black Mountains in the Brecon Beacons are a terrific place for wild camping.

Cadair Idris Walk and Wild Camp

Cadair Idris has been on my hit list for a few years. Knowing it’s one of the most popular summits in Snowdonia, I’ve been saving it for a weekday, when I happened to be free, and when the weather promised great views. I finally got the chance this July, which happens also to be my …

Rhinogs wild camping

Rhinog Traverse from Talsarnau to Barmouth

It’s far less popular than other areas of Snowdonia such as Snowdon, the Glyderau, and Carneddau, and so a great place to truly get away from it all (particularly on …

Tips for Cycle Touring in Wales

I’ve just returned from an incredible (and way too short) cycle tour of Wales. In four days I covered just over 100 miles from Chepstow to the Elan Valley following various branches of the wonderful National Cycle Route the whole way. The distance is a testament to the challenge – there are hills a plenty …

This post highlights an 11km circular walk via the Thames Source taking in The Monarchs Way and the village of Ewan. Scroll to the bottom for maps and other logistical tidbits.

Building embers... a bit more patience required th Building embers... a bit more patience required this time of year to build a fire suitable for cooking but the joy is in the doing. My kind of winter meditation.
