The Previous Walk:
Monknash, 9th November
Eleven of us, all cosily wrapped up on what was a cold morning, met at the WVH and headed down Broughton Road; turning onto chapel Road, were we checked out the books on display in the bus stop.
We passed along Water Street and onto Heol Las toward the Dog House. We met and talked for a while with Cath before continuing on our walk down to the Monknash lighthouse. Common sense prevailed when we first reached the headland, deciding not to walk onto the lighthouse owing to the strong and cold wind. We traced our steps back to the Dog House where we had coffee/tea and some light refreshments.
While resting and enjoying ourselves we were entertained by a farmer and his wife who were trying to shepherd their sheep passed the Dog House,
but they kept turning into the carpark, so we provided some assistance in blocking the way.
Some of us caught the bus back to the WVH while five walked back.
A really nice walk enjoyed by all.
Wick Wanderers, Summer Solstice Barbecue
Sunday, 21st June 2026
24 Wick Wanderers came to our garden on the longest day armed with all manners of food and enjoyed a very pleasant barbecue on a warm balmy day, but unlike last year, this year we were all seeking shade.
Festivities began at 3.30pm and continued through till 11pm sitting outside the whole time.

Wick Wanderers 20th Anniversary
Wick Wanderers celebrated their 20th anniversary on Sunday 22nd February.
Nearly 30 members took part in an anniversary walk to mark the occasion, which retraced the inaugural walk from 2006. Several members of the original walking group are still members some 20 years later and took part in the event, as well as others who were unable to take part in the walk, but joined as special guests later on.
Before setting off on the walk, a photo was taken outside Wick Village Hall, which has been the traditional starting point of all walks and this replicated the photo taken on the original walk. The walk was approximately 3 miles, mostly on road due to the weather conditions, however the group did have to contend with some flooded areas en-route.
The enjoyable walk was followed by well-deserved refreshments of coffee/tea and cakes hosted at Wick’s own coffee house – The Nook. Delicious anniversary cupcakes were supplied by Chrissie’s Cakes & Bakes based in Porthcawl.
The event also collected funds for the Wales Air Ambulance by member donations, as well as a raffle, where a total of just under £225 was raised.
Wick Wanderers currently have 50 members from Wick and the surrounding areas of St Brides Major, Ogmore by Sea, Llantwit Major and Bridgend and walk around 3 times a month in local areas and sometimes further afield.
