Did the Bridgend circular walk today in glorious sunshine. Hard to imagine the views over Mynydd y Gaer looking very different, but plans for 11 turbines are on the table and part of Coity Wallia Common could be blocked to long‑used access. A reminder of how quickly landscapes and rights can change #Bridgend #PenybontArOgwr #Coity #Coety #Coychurch #Llangrallo #CoityWallia #AccessLand #Wales #Cymru #ArchwilioCymru #NYE2025 #HappyNewYear #BlwythynHapusNewydd #LlynfiValley #GarwValley #MynyddyGaer

Footpath surveys in Coychurch Higher today: several routes in poor condition and now reported. Finished by walking the disused railway line between Rockwool and Brynna — still inching its way toward bridleway status after an application first made in 2018. A long wait, but progress is finally visible.

Ok, so this is slightly niche. I left my colleagues at the #GLC #GoldieLookinChain gig to catch the last train home, and Hannah somehow found #AdamHussain who noticed my absence. Anyway, it was #Bridgend #PenYBont where I saw them last, not #Casnewydd

Fantastic to see all the hard work repairing Pencoed Footpath 29 so that it is more accessible come to fruition. The Bridgend Ramblers enjoyed there walk from Cefn Hirgoed Ridge down into Ystradwaun in Pencoed. #Ramblers #Cerdded #RightsOfWay #Wales #Pencoed #Cymru #Footpath #Ystradwaun #Bridgend #Penybont

I joined a really enjoyable history walk yesterday learning about the sieges at Coity Castle and King Arthur’s ‘real’ burial site within Coed-Y-Mwster. There are some really attractive rights of way all around the area 💚🥾🥾. #Coity #Coety #Castle #Castell #KingArthur #Bridgend #Wales #Cymru #Cadw

Long shot, but anyone in the #Bridgend #Porthcawl #Pyle #Pencoed #Margam area got an old bike gathering dust they wouldn’t mind offloading? Looking to take up cycling as a healthier form of transport but upfront cost of a new bike is a bit steep 😬

Edit: Bikey hath been acquired. Thanks @Beedazzled for the suggestion!!!

Stunning day to visit the Brewery field to see Penybont play Caerdydd. Felt like the warmest day of the year, shame about the result but the best team won #SuperRygbiCymru #Cymru #Wales #Bridgend #Cardiff #Rygby #Rygbi #Penybont #Caerdydd #Cynnes

Made the most of the bright weather today and went for a bike ride via Bryngarw for a coffee and then onto the glorious Coity Castle. #Bridgend #Bryngarw #Beicio #CoityCastle #Coity #Castle #Cadw #Cycling #Wales #Cymru #Glamorgan #Coffi #Coffee

Took the opportunity to get out on the bike today. Despite the rain, fallen trees and limited visibility, the Wildlife Trust’s Parc Slip near Bridgend was looking fantastic as always. #Tondu #ParcSlip #Bridgend #Wildlife #Scenery #Cycling #BikeLife #Sunday #Wales #Cymru #SilentSunday #Nature

Sundays pictures from my Ramblers and Love2Walk Bridgend Walking Festival Slow Ways walk: Maesteg - Sarn. Leading 17 starting at Sarn, jumping on the train and walking back. Excellent route, excellent company and excellent weather!

An enjoyable guided history walk taking in Ogmore Castle, Merthyr Mawr, New inn, the Dipping bridge and Hut 9 prisoner of war camp. I always love hearing the story of Cap Goch the prolific murderer who hid the bodies all around this area! #Bridgend #ValeofGlamorgan #OgmoreCastle #MerthyrMawr #DippingBridge #Hut9 #PrisonerOfWar #CapGoch #Wales #Cymru

I’m creeping closer to joining up Abertawe and Caerdydd with another 5 ⭐️ Slow Ways route from Y Pil to Port Talbot. Perfect route for wheels with a cycle path and Wales Coast Path running between the two settlements via Margam Park. #Abertawe #Swansea #Caerdydd #Cardiff #YPil #Pyle #PortTalbot #Margam #MargamPark #SlowWays #Bridgend #PenybontYrOgwr #Wales #Cymru #CoastPath #Cerdded #Cymraeg

Enjoyed exploring the disused Llynfi railway line stretching into the village of Aberkenfig alongside the River Ogmore as part of my Pyle Sarn Slow Ways adventure. Had the wait for the very protective and aggressive swans to saunter across the path to the nearby pond. #Llynfi #Aberkenfig #Ogmore #Pyle #Sarn #SlowWays #Cerdded #Nature #Swans #Wales #Bridgend #Cymru #Railway

5 ⭐️ Slow Ways route from Pyle to Sarn passing through the amazing Parc Slip nature reserve. A reclaimed mine with a sad history when 112 miners died from an explosion in 1892. There is an amazing memorial with 112 stones built into a structure to remember each of the deaths. #SlowWays #Pyle #Sarn #Cerdded #Walking #ParcSlip #Nature #NatureReserve #Bridgend #Mining #Disaster #Wales #Crmyu #PenybontYrOgwr

Completed the recce of the Slow Ways route from Maesteg to Sarn in the glorious sunshine. I’m due to lead a rail to trail Ramblers and Bridgend walking festival walk on 23rd June. Hopefully the weather stays with us! #Ramblers #WalkingFestival #Bridgend #Sarn #Maesteg #SlowWays #PenybontYrOgwt #Cymru #Wales #Cerdded #Walking
