Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us.
Here in Wales, wooden love spoons are carved and given as gifts on Valentine’s Day.
Hearts, keys and keyholes are favourite Valentine decorations on the wooden spoons. These symbols meant the heart would be unlocked for love.
We’ve added a short canyoning video to our collection to show you what you can experience in the stunning Brecon Beacons in 2021.
What’s on your bucket list for 2021? If canyoning isn’t it should be.

Holiday firms are reporting a spike in bookings from people aged 50+ ‘Silver Tourists’ since the Covid-19 vaccination rollout began.
Currently, travel for leisure & tourism is banned due to lockdown rules. However, the launch of Covid jabs has led some people who are prioritised for the vaccine to book long awaited trips!
Are You Ready To Jump Back In?

Outdoor Classroom Day is a global movement celebrating outdoor play and learning. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, children are spending less time outdoors which ultimately affects their health and wellbeing.
Teachers are allocated two days each year to take children outdoors to play and learn. The next available date is 21st May 2021.
Take a look at our version of the outdoor classroom challenge…
Our local school Ysgol Y Cribarth visited us on the 15th October for a fun, outdoor learning experience in the Brecon Beacons!

What are you dreaming of given the restrictions imposed on us by lockdown? There are so many things that we would normally take for granted we can do without really thinking about it. That’s obviously changed!
