Rhondda Rocks, the walk


You don't really get to appreciate the stunning Welsh countryside when you drive past it in the car. We joined a group of nearly 100 strong to walk up the stunning Darren Y Bwllfa, Rhondda with Alarm front man Mike Peters in aid of the Love, Hope, Strength Foundation. The money raised from the walk for the charity is staying local to benefit the local community by supporting Tenovus’ marvellous Mobile Cancer Treatment Unit.
Ex Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable joined Mike Peters at the start of the day.
At the top of the moutain Mike held an acoustic gig that was set against the unique background of the Welsh Valleys, Awesome!

Rhondda road trip


Well it was Sunday & the sun was shining so off we went for a spin in the car. This week our faithful yellow SeicentAdd Imageo Sporting took us over the mountain to Rhondda.

We parked outside Mrs Williams' home & the next thing we knew she was out having a chat. What a really nice lady she was, a real old fashioned valleys girl.
