Cardiff Ramblers

The Cardiff group of @RamblersGB, @RamblersCymru. We ramble the wider Cardiff area on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Thursday evenings in summer.

@HeritageHiker To me it's not so much the link with Gaul as the surprising fact that they used a calendar from the eastern Roman empire in Constantinople over a hundred years after the Romans left this country.

Good news! The attempt by the Duke of Beaufort's Somerset Trust to take part of Clyne Common at West Cross for housing development has finally been refused. We're relieved that the unique land has been saved for all to enjoy: https://t.co/OhpQw8vrlf

@outdoorperscrip @BrisStepSista Good point. But either way, an annual fee may be ok for Bristol people, but going there from Cardiff once every few years, I'm not going to pay that amount!

Some photos from today's ramble supporting the successful campaign to remove the gates blocking access to the hills.

Can't see the forest for the trees

@SlowWaysUK Mynyddislwyn church on the Pontllanfraith to Risca route, Caerphilly county, south Wales.

@DanRavenEllison @SlowWaysUK You could get in touch with @sustrans?

[Cardiff Ramblers @CardiffRamblers]

@SlowWaysUK Wenallt Woods! Car parks at ///privately.prep.toast and ///towers.adopt.live. Plenty of paths through beech woods, some benches, some vistas. Happy to demonstrate if needed.

@RamblersGB Cwmparc Pathway of Hope, Rhondda Valley

[Eoghan Daltun 🌍 @IrishRainforest]

Never, EVER accept the lie that this is somehow a 'forest', just because there are trees: it's not. A real forest is 1,000s of diverse species, all intricately connected.

By contrast, what you're looking at here is one face of the death of nature, covering around 10% of Ireland.

[Cardiff Ramblers @CardiffRamblers]

I hope this is only a temporary diversion to the Usk Valley Walk and @nationaltrust Clytha to Bettws Newydd route. Some effort has been made in providing an alternative route, which adds a mile to the walk, but not clear if @MonmouthshireCC intend to fix the right of way itself.

Looking forward to hearing @Bethany1Handley at the Glamorgan area AGM tomorrow.

[Bethany Handley @Bethany1Handley]

@BrisStepSista @AllianceWalking @BCfmRadio @AudreySuzanne @itvwestcountry @BBCCountryfile @BristolPost @BristolCouncil I had intended going to Bristol today to recce my @railwalks ramble for next Saturday and would have popped over to Eastville Park out of curiosity and to show support. Alas, Storm Ashley happened. Maybe another day.

[Cardiff Ramblers @CardiffRamblers]

We've had some wet rambles lately, but this is seriously worrying.

[Volcaholic 🌋 @volcaholic1]

🧵 I've put together this thread to show just how much flooding has happened around the world, and this is only for the month of September—and it's not even over yet! Please share this because I don't think the message is getting out there.

Successfully dodging the showers today around Forest Chapel and Parc Taff Bargoed.

@gomedia91 I'm sure you're right. Having lived around there for many years I always thought it was Philog Road. Googling brings up a few mentions, including one on the pub that does imply the name was changed. I wonder when and why?

Midsummer sunrise from Pen y Fan. No sign of the sun, but a great night walk nonetheless.
