An interesting Ramblers walk today called the three rivers walk. It also included an old cemetery used by staff and patients of the nearby former Angelton Lunatic Asylum. It’s frightening how people with mental health issues were treated only 100 years ago. #Bridgend #Penybont #Ogmore #Lynfi #Garw #Cerdded #Ramblers #Cymru #MentalHealth

Inspired by a book about Iolo Morgannwg I went searching for clues around Bridgend. Unfortunately this stone circle was created a few hundred years after his death in 1998. I’m pretty sure Iolo would have wondered over to the 15th Century New Inn dipping bridge at Merthyr Mawr to inspect the stonework. #Iolo #Morgannwg #Gorsedd #Bard #Penybont #NewInn #DippingBridge #MerthyrMawr #Wales

Cracking day out in the sun watching Penybont play in Abertawe. What a difference the sun can make - shame about the one point loss though! #SunsOut #Swansea #StHelens #Bridgend #Rugby #Abertawe #Penybont #Rygbi

Yr Hen Bont / The Old Bridge. Built in 1425 to link the Oldcastle to the Newcastle over the River Ogmore. Oldcastle still exists as an area and castle, but bizarrely Newcastle was demolished and the area is now part of Bridgend town centre. #Penybont #Bridgend #RiverOgmore #WelshHistory #MarketTown

Another warm day to go out and have a Slow Ways adventure. A fairly urban route from Bridgend to Pyle with plenty to explore and enjoy. The small village of Laleston was definitely the highlight. #SlowWays #PenyBont #Trelales #Pil #Cerdded. #CowsOfMastodon

Hoping to get my first SlowWays route verified today! A stunning route from Porthcawl to Bridgend partially along the coast and through Merthyr Mawr. #SlowWays #Bridgend #Penybont #Porthcawl #Cerdded ##Cymru #MerthyrMawr #Arfordir #BusTrip

A quick #walk this morning before those clouds delivered the promised rain. From #Tythegston through #MerthyrMawrWarren and back again. Great views over the dunes and the #BristolChannel, a proud #CarrionCrow and a slightly fluffy #Blackbird

Finished my second Slow Ways route of the day - Penybont i Sarn. All road walking and very urban. I naively believed the TFW train app that my train was running from Sarn now I’m stranded six miles walk from home 😔. #SlowWays #Sarn #Bridgend #Penybont #TransportForWales #Stranded #LongWalk

Pencoed to Penybont Slow Ways route surveyed and reviewed. The first section was wonderful, off road and through the woods. The second section was walking through the ginnels of Brackla. A squirrel sat and talked to me and these gates were definitely not white. #SlowWays #Penybont #squirrel
Lovely day for a Slow Ways adventure. My starting point for Pencoed to Bridgend. Not going to be the most glamorous route, but one I’ll definitely use in the future. #JumpersForGoalposts #SlowWays #Pencoed #Penybont #Bridgend #Cerdded

A rather wet day spent doing boys stuff with the boy. Den built, sticks sharpened and got lost in the woods in the dark. Luckily the woods were on the site of the former Glamorgan lunatic asylum and a few minutes from Parc Prison, so imaginations ran wild. #BlairWitch #HorrorMovie #Bushcraft #Coety #Coity #Bridgend #PenYBont
