Next CRG event in Bedwas

For our 99th event, we are heading north to rendezvous with the River Rhymney at Bedwas.

The part of the river chosen is wide and will not be deep. This is an area we haven’t tackled before and we are bound to be able to make a difference in a short space of time.

There will be two types of cleaning, a general litter pick for those who want to stay dry and waders for those that don’t mind getting wet.

There is a pub nearby called the Fisherman’s rest and time permitting, we may clean up under the pretty bridge which has a few unsightly items lucking in the water.

As this location is not easy to get too by public transport, we will arrange rendezvous points for those that need a lift so please let me know if you want a lift so we can arrange a pickup.

e.g.

  • Meet at Pontcanna fields changing rooms between 9:55 -10:10 or
  • Meet at Café at Morrisons, Llanishen between 10:00-10:15 (by the Tax office)

For those unfamiliar with the area, see the map and directions below.
