Cracking Slow Ways completed today dodging in and out of showery weather. Walkers Are Welcome Crickhowell to Abergavenny primarily following the Brecon & Mon canal. Enjoyed sheltering under canal bridges and a pit stop in Gilwern! #SlowWays #Powys #SirFynwy #WalkersAreWelcome #Crickhowell #Abergavenny #Brecon #Canal #Gilwern #Monmouthshire #Rain #YFenni

Crickhowell castle - hidden off the Main Street but a wonderful site and definately worth visiting.

The historic Bear Hotel in Crickhowell with Table Mountain overlooking the wonderful Walkers are Welcome town.

The route out of Crickhowell to Llangattock. Beautiful woodland walking along ancient byways.

Sheltering under a bridge from the rain along the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal.

Another cracking day at the Walkers are Welcome annual get together. It was fantastic to see our exclusive private bog snorkelling event with the brave, if a little unhinged, contestants Jan and Paul. #WalkersAreWelcome #Sunday #LlanwrtydWells #Powys #Wales #Cymru #BogSnorkelling #Bog #Snorkelling

Paul on the halfway point realising he has to turn around and swim back through the bog

Paul bog snorkelling using the correct technique of no recognised swimming styles allowed.

Jan launching into the bog to do her circuit.

Seasoned professional Jan shows everyone how it’s done with a stylish swim in a straight line. (Harder than you think with no visibility).

Day two of the Walkers are Welcome annual get together. A busy day visiting St David’s church, sulphur well, Heart of Wales line and a brewery tour. Obviously we had to sample the goods! #beer #LlanwrtydWells #Wales #walkersAreWelcome #Brewery #Sulphur #SaturdayMood #weekendplans

Day one of the Walkers are Welcome annual get together. A stunning welcome walk up into the hills for a seven mile jaunt. Back just before dark and enough time to change before the next event! #llanwrtydwells #Powys #WalkersAreWelcome #Wales #Cymru

My last walk of the Llandysul & PontTyweli Walkers are Welcome walking festival - part of the Teifi Valley Trail from Llandysul to Henllan. We had a special treat at the end with the local winery opening specially for us 🍷. #PontTyweli #Llandysul #TVT #TeifiValleyTrail #Henllan #CelticCountryWines #Ceredigion #Carmarthenshire #Wales #Cymru #WalkersAreWelcome

My third day at the Vale of Glamorgan Walking Festival. Leading walkers around the 9 mile Llanmihangel circular. There wasn’t too much mud and surface water despite the recent storm. We had a few nice breaks at St Mary’s Church and Llanmihangel. #Cowbridge #WalkersAreWelcome #Wales #Cymru #Llanblethian #Llanblethian #Llandough #StMarysChirch #PlasLlanmihangel #Valeways

I found this group from the UK

They make signs like these to indicate that it is OK to #walk through places. #WalkersAreWelcome

Is there an #Australian version?

A hot day for the Evesham Walkers are Welcome walking festival. From Pershire, via Great Comberton, then over Bredon Hill back to the cars at Ashton-Under-Hill. With 1,215 foot of ascent it made for quite a hilly one! It was a treat to see the ‘elephant stone’, can you see it? #Evesham #WalkersAreWelcome #Pershore #GreatComberton #BredonHill #AstonUnderHill #Elephant #WalkingFestival #Ascent #Worcestshire #Gloucestershire #Cotswolds

Thatched Cotswold style cottage in Ashton Under Hill

The landowner has left the verges of the field to nature to promote biodiversity. The poppies have taken over leaving a red belt across the land.

My first walk on the Evesham Walkers Are Welcome Walking Festival. A circular walk from Lower Moor taking in the Worchestershire countryside, farms and reserves owned by the Vale Landscape Heritage Trust. They’re doing a great job in bringing nature back and restoring grasslands.#Evesham #WalkersAreWelcome #WalkingFestival #worchestershire #Nature #Biodiversity #Grasslands #Farming #Agriculture

A walkers are welcome sign guiding into the starting location. ❤️

Spring onion field. They were being harvested when we passed and the smell was absolutely glorious (if you like spring onion!)

Another wonderful walk along part of the Teifi Valley Trail. Llandewi Brefi to Lampeter. A grand total of 2 cars, 1 human and 1 dog spotted on the 8 mile, 3 hour walk - Bliss. Trinity St David’s was a special place to end the walk. Nice to hear #Cymraeg in the pub on the high street. #TVT #Ceredigion #TeifiValleyTrail #Lampeter #LlandewiBrefi #Cerdded #Wales #Cymru #WalkersAreWelcome

My first check of the Teifi Valley Trail completed from Llangeler to Newcastle Emlyn via Allt y Cafan in blistering heat. The route is being created by Walkers are Welcome volunteers and navigable through sleepy hollows and lesser used footpaths. #RiverTeifi #Carmarthenshire #Walking #Cerdded #Antur #Teifi #TeifiValleyTrail #WalkersAreWelcome #NewcastleEmlyn #Llangeler #AlltYCafan #Wales #Cymru

Really interesting edition of the Walk This Way newsletter from the Walkers are Welcome team celebrating ‘Wales by Trails’ with Visit Wales.

It’s brilliant to see an article about the collaborative project to launch the Teifi Valley Trail! I’ll be checking and creating route descriptions this weekend, so expect lots of photos to follow!

Day two at the Winchcombe Walkers are Welcome festival in the Cotswolds. Todays theme was flora and we spotted Green Winged Orchids as well as stunning bluebell woods. #WalkersAreWelcome #Snowshill #Winchcombe #Cotswolds #Orchid #Flora #Walking #Hiking #Architecture

View to the east of Snowshill overlooking barley growing in the farmers field

Snowshill church. Typical Cotswold architecture.

Attended my first event at Walkers are Welcome walking festival at Winchcombe in the Cotswolds. Bus to an organic vegetable nursery, a tour and then walk back to Winchcombe. Fantastic weather and stunning views with all the wild flowers left to flourish. #NoMowMay #Cotswolds #WalkersAreWelcome #Alderton #Winchcombe #Walking #Saturday #Summer #View #Organic #Tomatoes #Nursery #WildFlowers #walk

View over the Cotswold hills. Beautiful blue sky and green hills

Inside the nursery viewing the organic tomatoes. They grow from January to October. These were about 10 foot long as they trail them along hanging lines.

The Langley Rover created in 2021 to replace the one that fell down.

Imagine walking through all the accredited Walkers are Welcome Towns in the South West via Slow Ways? It's possible and I like the look of the trek across the Mendips from Cheddar to Keynsham.

The Kington Walking festival started with a bang last night with an early evening walk across the Radnor Hills, finishing with a pint in the Harp Inn, Old Radnor. Cracking views across the area and somehow we managed to dodge the showers. #Kington #OldRadnor #Walking #walkersarewelcome #Marches #History #WallkngFestival #Beer
