Introduction With tennis matches to play this evening, I decided on a short walk today, yet with plenty of time, I decided to head off to North Wales and the lovely country park just the other side of Mold. After a very wet day yesterday, today turned out to be…

Introduction I decided that a trip to the coast might provide some cooler air than inland today, so a quick blast down the M56 and I was in Wales! The weather today was hot and sunny, and this was an ideal walk for the conditions with two-thirds being either in…
Introduction Is this man taking on the role of this man? Today’s walk took me from England into Wales and back. If he gets his way, it may become illegal for this Englishman to do this walk after tomorrow! I doubt that Mark Drakeford, Welsh First Minister quite sees himself…
