Story ideas, inspiration and itineraries

We centre this trip around the quirkiest town in Wales; Llanwrtyd Wells. The town has a whole calendar of ridiculously wonderful events including stone-skimming, bog cycling and man-versus-horse racing. They’ve also combined mountain biking with that other great pastime, real ale drinking. But we are here to see (or take part if you dare) the World Bog Snorkelling Championships. Brave competitors from across the planet battle it out in a 60 metre, very dark and muddy peat bog. It has to be seen!

We then take to the water ourselves (on a lovely clean river, not a bog in sight) when we make friends with a coracle fisherman on the Teifi, to try and master the art of ‘sailing’ these quirky ancient boats.

Had enough of fresh water? It’s about time we tried the sea and jump off a cliff! Literally! Coasteering, pioneered in Wales, is a blend of rock-hopping, shore-scrambling, swell-riding, cave-exploring and cliff-jumping for the ultimate aquatic adventure. Yet en-route you’ll discover wildlife and beautiful scenery too.
