- Making the most of modest means
Well done to all those who competed in the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge today. It looked like a great event with good conditions. I hope you put in a time to be proud of. I was the photographer part way up Pendinas and then again on the prom and managed to get some good shots...
It’s the Aberystwyth Twin Peaks Challenge at the weekend. A challenging partly off-road running race covering two of Aberystwyth’s most famous landmarks: Constitution Hill (450ft) to the North of Aberystwyth and The Duke of Wellington monument on Pen Dinas (413ft) to the South. The race is organised by Aberystwyth Athletics club and is about 7...
I’m not entirely sure what they’re doing to the Bell Tower at Aberystwyth Arts Centre but it is currently clad in an impressive looking column of scaffolding. Do you know what they’re doing?

It was Sol’s(climbing in the adjacent photo) birthday at the weekend and Morgan was invited to his party at the climbing wall in Aberystwyth. We had never been to it before and although fairly small (I’d call it a bouldering wall) it was nice in there and Morgan seemed to enjoy it. Morgan never really...
The first stage of the aber-cachers travel bug race ended yesterday. The idea was to see how far the travel bugs could travel by moving from geocache to geocache over the course of a year.
