See it, pull it, sorted.

The great space invader Himalayan balsam is now starting to flower, soon it’ll be spreading further. Take a little time out to protect the plant life and diversity of your favourite trails and places. Help prevent soil erosion. Get a bit sweaty. Feel good.

Noticed the Lime Avenue and Calves Croft at Lyme are finally open again, directly behind the gardens. Seemed to be closed for ages recently or I was just unlucky.

Highly recommend breaking a bike ride to see more of this stunning, peaceful landscape on foot. Use those bike stands!

Byddai'r Gymraeg yn brif iaith addysg pob ysgol yng Ngwynedd yn y dyfodol, dan gynllun newydd sy'n cael ei ystyried.

Byddai'r newid yn effeithio ar dair ysgol - dwy ym Mangor ac un yn Nhywyn - os caiff y cynllun ei gymeradwyo

Cool snowy scenes of the Peak District are just a 5-10 minute walk off a bus route from Stockport or train from Manchester. But try telling that to the Mam Tor carbrains.

Trail or rail? The Peak District National Park is proposing to safeguard two popular trails purely for recreation, rather than railway reinstatement, securing their future for cycling, walking and wheeling.

To make the change, you need to have your say!

Ar ôl wythnos ofnadwy brysur yn y swyddfa, dwi o'r diwedd yn eistedd yn fy ngwely efo panad, yn darllen Nella Last War diary a efo radio cymru yn chwarae yn y cefndir. Boi hapus (tan bore dydd llun!)

The Guardian newspaper pulls out of Twitter/X. Judging by the replies on the tweet they announced it on, I can see why.

Our late summer hills in a bottle. Heather syrup, it’s a thing! The bright red colour and floral honey taste is quite stunning. Another one for the calendar between the meadowsweet, bilberries and blackberries…
