A shattered peace Sunday 22nd January 2017

It's such a shame that not all of the visitors to the Pembrey reserve and the eight mile long Cefn Sidan beach, appreciate the site for it's sheer simple beauty.

This morning I pulled into one of the car parks, and immediately noticed a van plus an empty trailer parked up, oh and then tyre marks across the sandy path to the beach.

I followed the trail and saw that it then veered off across the dunes QUAD BIKES!


tell tale signs
Sure enough two quad bikes appeared with dad + one and mum + one, totally oblivious to the issue, so what is the issue?

The dunes are a LNR, SSSI, and parts are a SAC, the beach is a SSSI, both areas are owned and managed by the local authority, supported by Natural Resources Wales.

Forgetting any damage that may be caused, there's the good old Health & Safety concerns, even at 9am there were quite a few walkers, dogs and horse riders on the beach!

They went on their way with a clear message ........, ironically it emerged they had a "farm" but the fields were getting muddy!!!

A real change in the weather today, with overcast skies all day and heavy rain for a while just before sunset, plenty of big skies ......


after the rain............

An increasing threat - Wildfire

  Bore da pawb, Sounds dramatic and maybe an odd thing to think about given the amount of rain storm Bert dumped on South Wales in the past ...
