Having an enjoyable evening learning about my family history in and around Merthyr.

I remember passing steel works, whilst driving through the town (pre 1997 bypass!) in my childhood. It’s very different today.

If you’ve ever ridden and wondered what you’re looking at, this is for you!

Big thanks to James for giving my son’s band their first stage at his Open Mic Night. The boys played really well, and even let a middle aged dad join them for a song!

If you’re thinking of swimming in a reservoir, please be aware of the hidden hazards.

Trespass and wild swimming are currently very fashionable, but stay safe folks!

☀️ Hot weather - please don't swim 🏊

We know it looks tempting to take a dip in Carsington Water during this sunny spell - but please don't swim in the reservoir.

The water may look inviting but it hides cold temperatures, strong currents and underwater hazards that can put lives at risk.

Please enjoy the beautiful views, have a picnic or try some supervised water sports with the Carsington Sports and Leisure.

Big thanks to for helping address my hoarding issues and rehoming my collection of old bikes. A British Racing Green Rayleigh, ProFlex 856 and 1991 GT Timberline will be sold to raise money for the local kids’ bike library scheme.

The GT’s story is especially poignant, as it was purchased by my father from Jed at Greenstyles Cycles, Machynlleth’s original bike shop.


I was riding the GT when we met for our inspiring cup of tea.
- you may have sold the GT to Dad!

Absolutely honoured to have been included as a speaker at the MTB Summit in Spain this September.

Working on the Summit’s theme of “CONNECTED BY TRAILS: LINKING PEOPLE, NATURE, AND PROSPERITY IN RURAL AREAS”, I will reflect on a decade of experience gained from building and .

My lived experience will illustrate how creating an MTB community, rather than just a destination, can help a rural area attract and retain sufficient population to remain alive and thriving.

Loads of fun helping my son’s troop with their Cyclist badge.

Successful second session with nice clean laps of the pump track. Also really impressed with the kids’ clean bikes putting mine to shame!

This is where Grass Roots MTB needs to focus.
