Hi all,
just wanted to say thank you for letting me join the site, I like to walk and having more time to do it now,  ::) I can indulge as often as my old legs will let me.  I live on the coast of Mid Wales, so have a good variety of routes and terrains around me.  I also am a keen wild-camper and enjoy combining this with walking.

Welcome from Manchester  :)

We've had many excellent wild camps on our backpacks in Wales, including the mid and west regions. A few routes are planned but are now on hold of course, and for a long time in our case since we now rely on public transport.

Welcome from Aberdeenshire. In the past I have visited Wales quite a few time and have walked the Gower peninsula, Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia. I have also been to Anglesey, Conwy, Llandudno and Aberystwyth. I have outlaws (oops in-laws) in South Wales.

I live in Aberystwyth, so have plenty of coastal walks, cliff walks and beach walks, but I also like to walk inland as we have the open moorland surrounding Aberystwyth, and Snowdonia just to the North.  At the moment Wales is shut. :-[   But soon I reckon we can again enjoy gods own country!

Welcome to the forum from the southern edge of the Lake District.
You've got some good country on your doorstep.

Thank you all for the warm welcome, although at this time we are still under very severe restrictions in Wales, it is a beautiful sunny day even if a little windy.  So boots on, fleece in the backpack with coffee and a snack bar, and off we go for a bimble around the Rheidol estuary.  Only 6 miles or thereabouts round walk on the flat.  But much better than saturday tv.  I hope evryone else is doing well and able to enjoy, where possible, the lovely bank holiday weather.Stay safe out there  O0
