Well I hope you had a nice weekend. I managed to go for a
short stroll in the sunshine along The Knapp in Barry on Saturday afternoon.
Yesterday I recorded a walk for Radio Wales in upper Cwmbran for my new Weatherman Walking series.
Council, was my guide and we got absolutely drenched!
In fact, right at the start of the walk we had to knock on a stranger's house and ask to borrow an umbrella!
Thankfully, they were happy to?oblige. The walk took me on?an old pilgrim's route up to Mynydd Hen Llys.
Unfortunately, the weather was so wet we didn't manage to get to the top but there were some great views towards the
We rejoined the route two thirds of the way down an old incline or tramway and passed some lovely old cottages.
Fiona showed me a copy of the 1881 census and I couldn't believe that 14 people lived in a two up two down.
You'll be able to hear the walk on Radio Wales in a few weeks time so try and tune in if you can.
