Enjoying a short break not far from home. Fairbourne for 2 nights, Llaneddwyn tonight then heading for Beddgelert tomorrow.

A #Lancashire #spring walk full of bird song and life. Springtime along the River Lune – Back on the road again share.google/LcRXvuvKpWe2...

Back home, via lunch and a walk by Llyn Brenig.

Some lovely walking from this CL near Denbigh, including parts of the Offa's Dyke Path, followed by a well needed lunch. I've found a few campsites nearby to use as a base to walk sections of the North Wales Pilgrim's Way.

First trip of the year; three nights on a CL at the Woodland Skills Centre, in the heart of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, not far from Denbigh. Lots of hills, trees and birdsong. Today's walk will take us past the tiny hamlet of Sodom!

At Silver Slashers today, I helped install a new kissing gate opposite Anglesey Transport Museum. Eventually this will join up with the footpath clearance we've been doing at Llyn Parc Mawr, so people can walk between the two and avoid walking on the grass verge on a busy road. #YnysMôn #anglesey

While I clean the van's boiler and tanks with citric acid and test the gas appliances, Salty's in his happy place. #vanlife #campervanlife #vanpreps #newseason #sunnyspringday

In the current maelstrom, find somewhere quiet to read this.

A fresh batch of baguettes part-baked and cooling before freezing. We're looking forward to the real deal in France later this year. #bakingtime #vanlifefood #campervanlife #france

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.

William Shakespeare wrote this speech 400 years ago about people in London wishing that immigrants go back to where they came from, performed by Sir Ian McKellen on the Stephen Colbert show:

We had a completely different task at Silver Slashers today, and something I've wanted to try for many years. We helped rebuild a drystone wall by the stepping stones on the coastal path near Newborough. We all enjoyed the challenge and had great fun! #ynysmôn #anglesey #ramblerscymru #volunteers

We need more Mark Carneys. The UK needs to return to much closer EU alignment to counter this new world order. If it doesn't happen now, the UK will never recover.

Christmas meal done. This tablecloth was bought in the cloth bazaar in Jinnah market, Islamabad, Pakistan in 1988 and has been on our Christmas dining table every year since then. #nevereatyellowsnow

Slava Ukraine. Thank goodness the democratic countries of Europe are standing with them.

The law is an ass!

Food shopping ......done!

Let the free power.....begin. #solarenergy #greenenergy #renewables

Still a handful of #Calendars left. £15 each inc p&p in UK DM to order. 🙂

I enjoyed the warmth and sunshine of this article to brighten a dark winter evening.

The last Silver Slashers outing of the year was in Valley to replace a coastal path boardwalk in very muddy conditions! We managed to clean up enough to enjoy our Christmas lunch at The Bull in Valley. #ynysmôn #anglesey #ramblerscymru #volunteers

The storm approaches. #traethllanddwyn #ynysmôn

Today the Silver Slashers were working near Benllech, clearing a large area around a burial chamber, which was almost covered by small trees and brambles.

Great news! DWP have written to me to let me know I'm due back pay of 126 years' State Pension! 💰🍾🕺

An atmospheric walk around Rhoscolyn, with a panad and Christmas cake sat on the beach.

Working near RAF Valley, at Silver Slashers we installed two wooden kissing gates, plus some marker posts and a bit of clearance. #ynysmôn #anglesey #RamblersCymru #volunteers

First snow of the season. #eryri #yrwyddfa #cymru

Good morning folks. I love the outdoors & facing wild adventures. To fund these opportunities, I make art & jewellery, design T-shirts, write, & offer my services as an inspirational speaker. Here's a link to cards I have for sale. Thanks for your support. 😊 lifeafloat.co.uk/handmade-cards

The Silver Slashers were working near Aberffraw today, in two working parties. We had to clear a lot of brambles to install this ladder stile. #Anglesey #YnysMôn #RamblersCymru #Stiles #Volunteers

Lovely skies over Eryri and Pen Llŷn on yesterday's walk. #Anglesey #YnysMôn #Eryri #Snowdonia

Brilliant!

Today the Silver Slashers were clearing a footpath, removing fallen trees and replacing some steps between Llandonna and Pentraeth forest. There's old trees and lots of evidence of previous hazel coppicing. #Anglesey #YnysMôn #ramblerscymru #volunteers

A laid back campsite with access to community owned land with regenerating woodland was the perfect place for a couple of nights in our #campervan. #Scotland Glengoulandie Camping & Dùn Coillich Community Land – Back on the road again share.google/E1g9zDHtGmPQ...

We're really enjoying watching Jule's and Greg's Wild Swim on BBC Scotland. It already makes us want to return to the Outer Hebrides. And there's some amazing tidal pools in Fife: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

The Silver Slashers were replacing three ladder stiles today, around Ty Croes close to Bodorgan railway station. A calm day with warm sunshine and outstanding views.

For the past few weeks the Silver Slashers have been working on replacing 60m of boardwalk along the Anglesey coastal path near Llandonna. Bad weather delayed us on a couple of days. We finished the final section yesterday. Where possible we've re-used the tread boards to save money.

Hopefully they'll also be room on the spaceship for Mr Far Rage and 'our Tommy'.

I need to empty the Gaslow tanks to get them replaced (10 year life), so I'm mostly cooking in the van on the drive! Chicken curry today.

From near the source to Melrose, we follow the River Tweed on foot and in our #campervan. #Scotland Following the River Tweed in the Scottish Borders – Back on the road again share.google/B4Le29ufUG5x...

We had a walk around the lovely harbour town of Portpatrick, including a walk up to the evocative ruins of Dunskey castle.

After visiting Culzean Gardens (NT Scotland), we're parked up on the Scar Park CAMpRA aire, overlooking Stranraer. It's an ex-RAF Flying Boat station. The huge pitches are on the concrete plane parking areas and we must be about 50m from our nearest van neighbour!

Currently parked up by Saltcoats harbour on the west coast of Scotland. Although windy last night, we've been serenaded by myriad seagulls and oyster catchers and watched a lovely sunset. The fish and chips were good too.

BREAKING: A UN inquiry has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. All eyes are now on the UK Government who must stop indulging in genocide denial. It must fulfil its legal and moral responsibility by taking immediate, decisive steps to prevent and punish genocide.

#cycling in #France is always fabulous and nowhere is more fabulous than around the Marais Poitevin in the Vendée. My latest blog post. Cycling along the Shady Banks of The Marais Poitevin in France – Back on the road again share.google/D2Mauu6xeT4Q...

No, I've not chopped his head off! This is a typical Patterdale Terrier, who spent this morning in terrier heaven - lying down with his head down a rabbit hole. No rabbits were hurt in the filming of this photo! #TerrierTuesday
