My commute along the North Wales coast
Many people who commute in cities would probably love this route. The entire journey is along the National Cycle Route 5 on the North Wales coast.

Cycling Rhyl's Pont y Ddraig /Dragon's Bridge (National Cycle Route 5)
On the 27th June 2015 Sustrans organized an activity day to celebrate the opening in October 2013 of this bridge for walking and cycling across the mouth of the Afon Clwyd. This short clip provides but a glimpse of the excellent seaside access for cycling along many miles of the North Wales coastline.

Welsh Highland Railway - Driver's Eye View - Part 1 - Porthmadog to Rhyd Ddu
With a camera mounted on the front of one of the powerful ex South African NGG16 Garratt locomotives No. 87 our train eases out of Porthmadog station onto the Britannia Road Bridge and level crossing. Number 87 negotiates its way through the town before crossing the Cambrian Coast railway via Britain’s only mixed gauge flat crossing. For a short distance we run next to the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway (WHHR) to Pen y Mount junction, passing under the new Porthmadog bypass into open countryside. Shortly after Pont Croesor station is an interesting bridge carrying both road and rail over the Afon Glaslyn (River Glaslyn). With the distant hills looming on the horizon we steam through pleasant farmland punctuated by the odd river bridge to Nantmor halt after which the character of the line changes as we enter the Aberglaslyn Pass via No.4 tunnel. Bursting from the tunnel onto a ledge high above the pretty river below, with glorious mountain scenery all around we are now traversing one of the most photographed locations in the country. We leave the Aberglaslyn Pass via Goat tunnel to enter Beddgelert station where a Porthmadog bound train is waiting for us to clear the single line. The noise from our engine increases as it lifts its train through the wooded slopes to the summit marker board a mile or so short of Rhyd Ddu station.
Track gauge - 1 ft 11 1⁄2 in (597 mm)
One question that has come up many times in the comments for both the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog Railways is Why doesn't the train leave the tracks when it passes through a switch set for the opposite track - it is not east to explain, but I'll try -
The switches at either end on the passing loop are set to allow trains to pass without the need for railway personnel to set them, in this case the train will always take the right hand track in the direction of travel, when the train reaches the end of the loop the switch appears to be set incorrectly. The switch blades are held in place by a spring mechanism that allows them to be pushed over by the weight of a train passing through them. Once the train is clear they are automatically set to allow a train in the opposite direction to take the right hand track, thus making the passing loop automatic. The system works well so long as a train never reverses before clearing the switch as that will de-rail the train. The first time this system is seen in operation it looks wrong, but it is common practice on many lines where speed is low and costs need to be kept to a minimum.

Feeding Mute Swans on John's River, Waterford, Ireland.
I have been feeding this pair of breeding Mute Swans for about 8 years now and have seen them raise 6 families of Cygnets during that time, two years they didn't have any 2011 and 2013, but they had 4 in 2006, 8 in 2007, but lost two, 9 in 2008, 6 in 2009, 3 in 2010, 4 in 2012, a total of 32. As I am a fan of The Virginian TV series, I named the male , the Cob, Lee J. and the female, the Pen, Betsy. 3 days before I filmed this, Monday the 19th of February, they were up at John's Bridge, which you can see in the background of the first shot and I called to them and they followed me all the way down to my door to be fed, as they do here. Lee J., the Cob, with the bigger black protuberance on his forehead, is on the left, Betsy, the Pen with the more slender neck is on the right. Before the flood wall was put up I used to feed them by hand, when there was a high tide by reaching through the railings and they would stretch their necks and take bread from my hand and at a slipway further down where they would waddle to me take the bread, go back down to the water and dunk the bread, eat it and come back up for more. I have videos of that on another channel.

New Mute Swan family on Serpentine
A new family of Mute Swans with five cygnets has appeared on the Serpentine. The nest was in the middle of the island, and it was impossible to see what was going on.
