As promised I went back up onto the slopes of Cefn Drum this evening in search of the two Grey Partridges I discovered at the end of last week. Unlike last time I had my proper camera well and truly in tow and made straight for the area where I’d Read more…
Walking our countryside has always been one of my favourite past times and is something that I try to do every single day. I’ve often wondered just how far I could push myself however, and have long coveted the idea of completing one, if not all of Britain’s national trails. Read more…
