Wales, Pembrokeshire Coast - Fishguard to Cwm yr Eglwys: July 2013
2013, July 11th. A walk from Fishguard to Cwm yr Eglwys along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path (part of the All Wales Coast Path), with a brief look at the harbour at Lower Town Fishguard and at Fishguard Fort, before heading East along the cliffs to Pwllgwaelod. At Pwllgwaelod there is a shortcut to Cwm yr Eglwys, but we follow the Coast Path around the headland of Dinas Island (Pen Dinas) to reach the cove of Cwm yr Eglwys.

The Minllyn Mine, Dinas Mawddwy
A 6 minute film made by myself and my partner Iain- 'Teiglminer' on YouTube, all about the Minllyn Mine, above Dinas Mawddwy, North Wales, UK. On our visit to the mine we didn't intend to make a film, and so it is a little lacking in material. But we put together what photos and movies we had and came up with our first 'Treasuer Maps' production. Yes, I need a tripod, I had one at home, as I say, we hadn't intended to make a proper film until we got home... next film will, we hope, be infinitely better.

Prince and Palmerston leave from Port
George England locomotive Prince built in 1863 storms out of Porthmadog Harbour station at the head of a 12 carriage train. Palmerston of 1864 is assisting at the rear, but Prince is doing most of the work. A really stirring sight. The slightly shaky video was taken from the scaffolding on the new Cob signalbox (with permission).

Heritage Skills Training Programme - Recruitment
The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways have been successful in securing a significant Heritage Lottery Fund grant of £454,500 to support an ambitious training programme to introduce heritage skills to a more diverse audience. Part of the HLF ‘Skills for the Future’ scheme, this programme seeks to recruit twenty trainees over a two-year period. The railway aims to attract trainees in order to share the heritage skills of its talented workforce and in doing so, encourage careers in the heritage sector.
Following the successful integration of ten new trainees at the commencement of the programme in spring 2018, we are now recruiting for the second phase starting in September 2019.
Paul Lewin, Director and General Manager comments:
“For our national heritage to have a bright future we need to ensure that there are people with the skills necessary to conserve, work with and interpret our heritage assets. It is of vital importance that people from all backgrounds are attracted to be involved in our heritage at all levels. Also as traditional heritage skills diverge from the requirements of mainstream industry, it is ever more important that we concentrate on developing those skills. This program, made possible by HLF, allows us to focus on these challenges in a way that we simply could not otherwise hope to do.”
Skills areas covered by the scheme include Horticulture, Heritage Joinery, Heritage Mechanical Engineering, Dry stone walling, Permanent Way Engineering and Heritage Interpretation. The scheme will work in collaboration with local partners and colleges.
We are now actively seeking potential trainees for the scheme. Initial contact can be made by emailing hlfs4f@ffwhr.com.

Llangollen Canal - near to Chainbridge Hotel
The Llangollen Canal leaves the Shropshire Union Canal just north of Nantwich in rural Cheshire and climbs through deserted Shropshire farmlands to cross the border into Wales near Chirk. It then cuts through increasingly hilly countryside to finish alongside the River Dee tumbling out of Snowdonia, just above Llangollen. It is 41 miles long and takes at least three days to cruise (one-way).
The Llangollen Canal is probably the most beautiful canal in Britain, certainly it's the most popular. The scenery varies from isolated sheep pastures to ancient peat mosses, from tree lined lakes to the foothills of Snowdonia.
Towns along the way include medieval Whitchurch with its half timbered buildings, the interesting market town of Ellesmere set in its own Lake District, the fortified border town of Chirk and Llangollen itself, sat astride the River Dee, an ancient gateway to Wales beneath the ruins of Castel Dinas Bran.
The canal has three major engineering feats, two old, one modern. The aqueducts at Chirk and Pontcysyllte were built by the engineers Thomas Telford and William Jessop and were among the first to use cast iron troughs to contain the canal.
At Chirk Aqueduct the trough is supported by conventional masonry arches and hidden inside the masonry, almost as if the engineers were not confident of their new material. But at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct the trough is exposed and sits atop 120 foot high slender masonry towers. When you cross it by boat there is an exhilarating sheer drop on the non-towpath side! You should stay below decks if you don't have much of a head for heights, but do try to look through the windows, otherwise you will miss some amazing views!
The modern engineering feat seems tame by comparison but required considerable twentieth century engineering expertise. Constant landslips on the stretch from Trevor to Llangollen, one of which derailed a train on the railway below, meant closing the section for two years to rebuild long stretches of the embankments above the River Dee and encase the whole length of canal in a concrete trough.
