  • Cycling Sideways - Cycletouring in Wales & Welsh Marches, UK
    Cycletouring and related scenic sites in Wales and the Welsh Marches of England - a cyclists' paradise on the western edge of Britain. Why the emphasis upon cycletouring in Wales and the Welsh Marches? Because this wonderful countryside is one of the few remaining totally unspoilt areas of Britain. Forgotten by main stream tourism, it is a maze of miraculously traffic-free lanes and byways just perfect for cycling. En-route are enough welcoming hostelries, quirky castles, and moss-strewn churches to keep even the most curious cyclist engrossed.

  • Cardiff Cycling Campaign Home Page

We currently have about 450 members making us one of the largest cycle campaign groups in the UK per head of population.

  • mountain biking at phat tyres - a mountain bike page for uk riders
    This site is a look at the more romantic side of mountain biking, in the UK. I hear you saying, 'romantic?'....well...you'll see. There are 101 mountain bike sites out there, most are just a few pictures and a page of links, most aggresively want you to sign their guestbook, or join their mailing list. Well...this site is different. You won't find pages of broken links, and you can sign the guestbook If You Want To. What you will find is a selection of mtb artwork, some written work by real riders, and a list of other pages which have been good to me in the past. Basically this page is trying to show that there is more to mountain biking than pedalling. It's hard to explain, there's no word to describe the feeling of clearing that drop-off at last, of reaching the top of that hill, of out-pedalling the dog chasing you through a farm, but that's what this page is all about.
  • The Mudfest - A Mountain Bike Site

Walking  
  • Offa's Dyke Path
    Llwybr Clawdd Offa
    What is Offa's Dyke? It is a great earth bank that runs most of the way along or near the border of England and Wales, from near Chepstow in the south to the North Wales coast. On the west, that is the Welsh side, there is a ditch, and the top of the bank is still sometimes 20 feet (6 metres) above that. We do not know exactly why it was built, but it seems that it was meant to protect the English from raids by the Welsh.
  • footpath

  • The Great Bridgewater Walk
    Grandly staged as "The Great BIBIC Bridgwater Walk" this years' summer fund raiser has been a tremendous success. The event, a three hundred mile sponsored walk, was used as a bandwagon to raise eight and a half thousand pounds for the British Institute for Brain Injured Children and local charities. A huge vote of thanks goes to all those who helped from the terrific collectors to the camp organiser and drivers. A special thank you goes to Steve Rogers and Simon Pennicott who provided essential help and support from Aberystwyth.
  • Head for the Hills: Wales and the UK Walking Adventure

  • Twr-y-Felin Outdoor Centre
    Twr-y-Felin (TYF) is one of Europe's top outdoor pursuits centres, based in Britain's only coastal National Park. TYF is internationally recognised not only for the quality of kayaking and other coastal adventures but also for the fact that it is one of the most relaxed, friendly and exciting places that our guests have ever stayed in. There's a lot of information here and some good pictures as well as loads of hot links to speed your surfing.
  • Welsh Climbing
    So far, there's not a huge amount covered here - that should change soon, and hopefully more people will send info on Wales now that some space has been devoted to it. It was rumoured that someone was setting up a site specifically for climbing in wales, but since this hasn't happened it's now covered as part of UK climbing. When there's more info there'll be a clickable map of Wales similar to the English one.

  • MINEX Cricket Club
    The MINEX cricket club was formed over 20 years ago in Cardiff. The name comes from the old and now defunct Mineral Exploitation (MINEX) degree run by the UWCC. The club still has strong ties to the Departments of Earth Sciences and Engineering , and Earth Sciences continues to supply much of the clubs younger "talent" as well as a few more elderly stalwarts. In addition, the MCC draws upon talent from other walks of life, making particular use of teachers, postmen and painters and decorators. During a season that begins in the cold and wet of a Welsh April and extends into the cold, wet and dark of a Welsh September (incidently taking us through the notoriously cold and wet Welsh summer) MINEX play a variety of friendly and league matches against sides from Cardiff and its hinterland. So, after another winter of conspicuous overconsumption the ever more aged and portly MINEX side will embark upon yet another campaign in the Cardiff Midweek Willow League, hoping for glory in one of the three competitions.
  • St.AsaphCricketClub
    The home of St. Asaph Cricket Club is Elwy Grove Park. The first game played here was in 1872, 126 years ago.

  • Glamorgan Cricket

Launched in conjunction wit CricInfo in August 1996, this webpage was the first such site in the U.K., and this is how Virgin.net have described it: "As you might expect from a home page endorsed by and linked to Cricinfo, this is an excellent site. Frequently updated, it has more information on Glamorgan's cricket past and present than it is healthy to know." These pages are being maintained and updated by Andrew Hignell, Glamorgan's Hon. Statistician.

    Members of the Computer Science Department formed Rest of The World in 1995 and the team were one of the twelve founder members of the I.M.G. football league in 1995. By this stage they had already reached their first cup final in 1996 and they dominated the early league in its first 2 seasons. 1996 was ROTW highpoint as they became Cup Runners up. 1996 saw a change in ROTW as they moved their base to Russia, now calling themselves Spartak Comsc, they dominated the early part of the I.M.G. season. Unbeaten until Christmas. Under a new management team they steadily progressed. Now coming into this season the mighty Spartak is again ready to challenge for top honours.
  • Aberystwyth Town FC
    Aber Town are without a doubt the best team that the world (or at least the League of Wales) will ever see. There is simply no end to their talent, their fitness (in both meanings of the word!) and their dedication. Or maybe not - this is the site that lets you see the 'real' Aber Town. That is, if you're mad enough to actually care! Aber Town are one of the best supported clubs in Wales (and of course, the fans are of a fantastic quality). They are a mainly young team, having a youth policy which has led to the youth team winning most of the mid-Wales trophies for the past few years. There are even four Wales Schoolboy caps in the squad at the minute (which probably says more about the Welsh team than about the players themselves). The team tend to play exciting, attacking football, which pleases the fans, but which doesn't always end up in the right result. Nevertheless, for a small seaside town like Aberystwyth, the club holds its own very well against the other teams in the League of Wales - next season : Europe!!

    Welcome you to Richmond Park, the home of Carmarthen Town AFC. Our first campaign in the League of Wales brought us mixed blessings and, in the end, we were happy to survive and retain our place. This year, however, our aim is more than mere survival. This is a fiercly ambitious Club and the experiences of Barry Town, Ebbw Vale and Inter Cable-Tel in European football have only served to stiffen our determination to achieve qualification for a European competition. The standard of football in the League of Wales is increasing steadily and I believe that it is a matter of time before a Welsh club enjoys a major run through to the final rounds of the EUFA Cup.

    Neath Rugby Club, the first of the senior clubs in Wales to celebrate its centenary, was founded in 1871 reputedly by a Scotsman, Dr. T.P. Whittington. He was the Club's first captain and first international. It was in these early days that the now famous Maltese Cross insignia was adopted. A player, Moxham, is said to have worn the adornment in his cap at a time when variety in dress was the fashion in rugby. The all black jersey was allegedly used after the tragic death in 1880 of the popular Dick Gordon in a match against Bridgend.
