On the weekend of May 14
th Jasper was down, so I decided to take him for a walk with Mum and Dad and show him one of the many routes that I usually walk in the evening.

There are many walking trails you can take such as Sultan trail, woodpecker trail, skylark trail and the national cycle route 47 (which I walk on every day) but my favourite is the
Sutlan trail along the pit pony which is marked by a purple sign with a horse on it! Jasper had never seen Sultan before so he was in for a treat!

The trails are easily marked with
signs and each route has its own beautiful views and
vegetation, its all a wonderful walk through nature!

I took Jasper to the big pond, my favorite place to have a swim! "Come on in Jasper the waters great!"

I decide to go for a swim and play fetch in the water.

Slash, Splash!

Jasper would rather stay on dry land and watch me!

I showed Jasper The Story Stones.

Each large stone is engraved with a different story about the mines and about the environment.

The Story Stones are a good way of teaching people about the Welsh Mining
Heritage that is in
Penallta and the surrounding areas.
