A man is undertaking a huge challenge by walking 700 miles around the Welsh coastline and picking up rubbish and waste at every beach he stops at because of his love for Wales and the “absolutely disgusting” state of some of the country’s beauty spots.
51-year-Geraint John, originally from Maesteg, is currently in Llangrannog in Ceredigion on his latest stop-off along the coast with nothing but a tent, some essential supplies and waste bags to fill as he goes about his journey, which is expected to last all summer. The epic trip started on April 13 in Mumbles, Swansea, and Geraint has been heading gradually along the west Wales coast since then.
The section east of Swansea, between Port Talbot and the Severn Bridge, frankly has too much rubbish for one man to collect, according to Geraint, so his plan now that he has walked through Pembrokeshire and arrived in Ceredigion is to continue heading north, around Anglesey and across to Rhyl.
