Wedi 7 interview

A big thanks to Rev. David Jones for fronting an interview for the S4C new program - Wedi 7. They will be doing a news slot on next Tuesday's programme. The interview took place on the banks of the lake at Sandy water park. They spent some time talking to David about the walk and then took some covering shots of Ceri & Simon walking up and down.

Simon and Ceri (Jess is on Hols) by Sandy water park. I have emailed them to the local rag in the hope they will publish our event as a story. Fingers crossed

And another pic with two ugly guys

Darryl has just purchase a new netbook to take on the walk, so providing there are wifi points on the way he will be able to keep the blog up to date.

Trial Walk

As part of our extensive training we have completed a walk from Tumble to Llandeilo. We managed to experience most forms of weather conditions.


Here we are just leaving Lyn Llech Owain in warm dry conditions















At this point Dylan was happy as larry and full of enthusiasm










The weather was so good we even stopped for a picnic before we went on our way again.

Then in the afternoon, on our return from Llandeilo, the rains came and Dylan was no longer happy! He had to be carried the last 5 miles :(

Llanelli to Snowdon - the idea

Ceri Benjamin (16), Simon Davies (15) and Jess Roscoe (15) are organising a sponsored walk from Llanelli to the top of Snowdon, a distance of about 150 miles. They plan to do this over 9 days between the 9th and 18th of August, travelling up through mid Wales. Their aim is to raise as much money for Leukaemia research as possible. The original idea was Ceri’s, she had taken part in 2006 in a walk for Teenage Cancer trust with 3 other young members of Greenfield from Llanelli to London (West end to West end) and wanted to do something similar again. The walk to Snowdon is slightly shorter in distance but will be more challenging as the terrain is a lot hillier and of course on the final day, the plan is to climb up from Plas Gwynant to the summit of Snowdon and then back down to Llanberis. They will be supported by Simon’s & Cer's Dads, who will be taking it in turns in driving the car or walking with them.
