Clare joins Hannah Engelkamp and her donkey, Chico, for a ramble in the Dyfi Valley a few miles east of Machynlleth in Powys. On the way Hannah tells Clare about the extraordinary adventure she shared with Chico when they walked 1000 miles around the perimeter of Wales. She did this despite having no previous experience of donkeys, or horses, or any animals really. It took twice as long as she intended and was much harder than she ever imagined. The idea of 'carrot or stick' doesn't work, Hannah says, so the first thing she learned was when a donkey stops you just have to wait and stand and look and wait until the moment seems right to move off again. Hannah also tells Clare about her involvement with 'Slow Ways'. It's a Community Interest Company whose aim is to map, improve, and promote walking routes between Britain's towns, cities and villages. Clare and Hannah met at Grid Ref: SH 850 027, and walked a section of a Slow Way known as ‘Maccar One' near Chico's home at Dyfi Donkey Woods. Maccar One is 23 miles long and connects Machynlleth with Carno. Slow Ways are named for the first three letters of the place at either end of a route e.g. Mac for Machynlleth and Car for Carno.Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Karen Gregor

Cerys Hafana | La harpe triple est à l'image des paysages de bout du monde du Pays de Galles dont elle est l'instrument national : majestueuse et intimidante. La musicienne et compositrice Cerys Hafana, originaire de la petite ville de Machynlleth, revisite le répertoire traditionnel en faisant scintiller les trois rangées de cordes du vénérable instrument (qui en comporte 92 !).

Farmers welcome new rules on the movement of TB restricted cattle and we visit a dairy farm in Pembrokeshire that's taking part in a new pilot project finding new ways of tackling the disease. We hear how "leaky dams" on the River Teme to manage the flow of water to prevent floods over in Shropshire can also be beneficial to farmers upstream in Wales. A Radnorshire farmer takes time out from the harvest to highlight the beauty of the mountain blackbird - the Ring Ouzel .....and the orchard trials in Machynlleth to grow to pears for both Perry and eating, with a little help from Willow!

Mae Cerys Hafana yn gyfansoddwr ac aml-offerynnwr sy'n manglo a thrawsnewid cerddoriaeth draddodiadol. Mae ei cherddoriaeth yn chwarae efo posibiliadau unigryw'r delyn deires, gan gymryd ysbrydoliaeth o ddeunydd archifol a phrosesu electronig. Mae'n byw ym Machynlleth ac yn rhannu straeon am ei phlentyndod, ei dylanwadau cerddorol megis Nansi Richards, a Siân James. Mae'n trafod cerddoriaeth gwerin a'r feirniadaeth fu am ei gwaith a hefyd yn teimlo bod angen siarad mwy am rhywedd.

Hot off the presses - it's Margaret's conversation with Angela Barnes earlier this week.  Angela shares some of Margaret's worst crush excesses.  Beardy nerds?  Check.  Comedians from the 1990s?  Oh yes.  Angela's crushes include Kenny Everett (note for anyone born after 1979 - he was a very funny, very gay, very rude primetime ITV family entertainer.  The 80s was a different time).  George Michael gets a mention, as do John Lennon, and a man who once pissed her off so badly she filled his bed with Frosties while he was on a date with someone else. It's a crushed-packed 55 minutes, that's what we're saying. Don't forget to come and join the cult Substack - we post about one thing a week, so you won't be bombarded, and it gives us another way of keeping in touch if Twitter ends up in the bin.  It's looking quite likely isn't it? https://crushedbymcs.substack.com/ Quick reminder of our live gig at Machynlleth on 30th April 2023 - we would love to see you there.  We got some badges made, and if that won't persuade you to make the journey to North Wales, I don't know what will.  Our guest Eleanor Morton, maybe?  She's great, and we're very excited about finding out what her crush history is like.  Tickets available here: https://machcomedyfest.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/873644691 That's all the admin for this week. Til next time,  Team Crushed xx

TTB 207: Walking Wales and Ovarian Cancer Awareness Ursula Martin was just 31 years old when she went to the doctor and......BAM.  Large growth, scans, blood tests, fear and uncertainty.  She had ovarian cancer. Three  months later, March 2012, Ursula was in follow-up treatment, feeling dazed, confused and, as the clouds cleared, very very lucky. Starting in March 2014 Ursula walked from her home in Machynlleth, UK to a hospital appointment in Bristol then, during the six months before the next appointment she walked around, through, in, under and over Wales, in all its wonderful variations before returning to Bristol.  Then, after the second hospital visit, I'll walk north, following the river Wye up to the mountain Plynlimon and over, home to Machynlleth.

Welcome to BBC Countryfile Magazine's Sound Escapes – your chance to enjoy a delightful few minutes of spring wildlife no matter how busy you are. In this episode, we're sitting in an oak woodland mid April, listening to the songs of many species but the star performance is the drumming of the lesser spotted woodpecker. The location is the RSPB's Ynys Hir reserve near Machynlleth in mid Wales, famed for its Celtic rainforest. Recorded by Fergus Collins and presented by Hannah Tribe.

On October 3rd, 2012, Coral Jones gave an emotional televised appeal for the safe return of her daughter, April. The five-year-old had been missing for 36 hours – she’d vanished while playing outside her home in the rural welsh town of Machynlleth. The entire community came together to help the police search for the missing girl. There was a real hope that April would be found alive. But the search would be in vain… A local 46-year-old man named Mark Bridger, who was known to the family, had abducted and murdered April.

Clare Balding goes rambling, near Machynlleth, with the writer and environmentalist, George Monbiot. The theme of this series of Ramblings is 'In Search Of.' and, together, George and Clare are walking in search of wildness. George's new book, 'Feral', is partly a personal story about his attempt to stave off the monochrome nature of modern-day life: "I could not continue just sitting and writing, looking after my daughter and my house, running merely to stay fit, watching the seasons cycling past without ever quite belonging to them. I was, I believed, ecologically bored". In this walk, George explains how he has attempted to 'rewild' his own life and describes what he believes needs to be done in order to reintroduce true wildness to our countryside through the large-scale restoration of ecosystems. He says "researching it felt like stepping through the back of the wardrobe". Using OS Explorer OL23 - Cadair Idris and Llyn Tegid - George takes Clare to his favourite place in mid-Wales, a rare stand of ancient native woodland, which stirs him to his very soul. Produced by Karen Gregor. First broadcast on Thursday 6 June, 2013.

Photography talk at Ffotogaleri y Gofeb in Machynlleth 30 March 2019 by group exhibition photographers John Blakemore, Pete Davis, Marian Delyth, Peter Cattrell and Aled Rhys Hughes.

Photographer Pete Davis first wielded a camera when he was eleven years old and has since gone on to hone his craft by being an advertising and fashion photographer and was a senior lecturer in documentary photography at the University of Wales, Newport for eighteen years - nine of which he was the course leader. Known for his large format landscape documentary photography both here in Wales and abroad, the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth staged a major retrospective exhibition of Pete's photography in 2017 featuring work from across sixty years. Ffoton are delighted to have recorded Pete in conversation with Geoff Young - co-curator at Ffotogaleri y Gofeb in Machynlleth in March 2109 where Pete’s work was part of a group landscape exhibition alongside work by John Blakemore, Peter Cattrell, Marian Delyth and Aled Rhys Hughes. This conversation was recorded following a morning event where the photographers gave a public talk at the gallery.

RHLSTP (EATMCF) #3: Jessica Fostekew and Holly Burn - Michael Sheen's Mildly Nutritious Hand. Rich has just had the biggest gig of his career and now he's in a Tabernacle somewhere in Wales, but that's showbiz. At least he has met and very slightly affected the life of a man he loves. Two guests packed into the regulation hour here, with ex-zombie Jessica Fostekew and delightfully bonkers Holly Burn ramping up the laughs at this lunchtime gig. Jessica has been in a fight at the festival and recounts tales of time holes, Nightmare Live, a great new TV format, and sharing train rides with a stalker (of other people). Holly tells tales of being the world's worst bridesmaid, finding your inner clown, what happens when Posh Spice retweets you, and her plans to visit her namesake. Plus Rich demonstrates why you should never tell comedians what to do, and discusses truth in comedy.

James Acaster and Alex Horne join Pappy's on a caravan holiday adventure! Recorded at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival, within you can expect to find a case of mistaken identity, a 'round that never was' that may well have been better (and certainly quicker) than the 'round that was' which took its place, and the words 'parking lounge'. Plus all the usual puns, confusion and shouting you've come to expect. It's Caravantastic! Do use all methods to help spread the word about Flatshare Slamdown - coming out on the first day of every month throughout 2016. Thanks! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Joe Lycett and Mike Wozniak join Pappy's for the first episode of the new series! It's a camping special recorded at the wonderful Machynlleth Comedy Festival in May 2013 and as you'd expect it features Wham, spelling and horses. In it - in amongst the usual mix of puns, jingles and games - you'll find Mike leaping to the defence of a cat, Joe demonstrating his knowledge of fish, Ben flirting badly, Tom not knowing whether to be offended or pleased and Matthew failing to ever pronounce Machynlleth correctly. The show's artwork was done by illustrator James Walmesley - and bloody brilliant it is too.

RHLSTP (BATMCF) Special! - it's like the Leicester Square Theatre Podcast but it's at the Machynlleth Comedy Festival in Wales and is at the packed Y Tabernacle. It's the first podcast since the show was nominated for a prestigious Sony so the pressure is on to keep the fellatio and bumming jokes to the highest standard. And the guests are rising stars and rival non-Sony award nominated podcasters Pappy's (all they've got is a new TV series, the losers). There's plenty of charity human centipede fun to be had with Huge Ackman, bleeding heads, Animal Antics, public nudity and the ham hand question is nearly destroyed, but becomes stronger. There's a half-hearted attempt to put a shrek in it which shows that boat has sailed and too much self-pity. But it doesn't matter, it's not a proper London one!

The change in format is here! I'm joined by Pieter Collier from the Tolkien Library to discuss news and views about all things Tolkien: Literature, Art, Film, Festivals, and more. We're sure that Pieter will become a regular part of Middle-earth Minutes, and are certain that you will enjoy the news that we have brought you... some of which is being heard here for the very 1st time.Legend of Sigurd Audio Book Delayed:All those who had pre-ordered the Audio CD were expecting to be listening to it by now. Find out why it is not yet available according to the publisher. But, Harper Collins has some news that is being reported here for the 1st time...Never-Before Published Hobbit Painting By Alan Lee:When asked about what else we could expect the answer came back that "the Alan Lee illustrated Hobbit hardback is getting a much deserved reprint with a slightly different cover, which includes a brand new never-before published Hobbit painting by Alan Lee."We took the opportunity of that good news to discuss Alan Lee and the interview that Pieter conducted with him in March, 2008.The Edel Silmarillion Student Project:Further discussion with David Brawn at Harper Collins turned to the Edel Silmarillion, a student project produced by the very talented Benjamin Harff, which was featured on the Tolkien Library. Harper Collins says that The Benjamin Harff Silmarillion "has not been considered commercially". We encourage all Tolkien fans everywhere to take a look at this book, and send a friendly email to both the Tolkien Estate and Harper Collins asking that this book be published so that we may all have a copy. You can email both by visiting Tolkienestate.com/contact, and perhaps, with enough letters from eager fans, we can persuade Harper Collins to release this beautiful book.Tolkien Settlement: More Than $100 Million:THR, Esq. reports on the resolution of the litigation between New Line Cinema and the estate of author J.R.R. Tolkien, and we offer our own comments as well as those of Christopher Tolkien (“The Trustees acknowledge that New Line may now proceed with its proposed films of ‘The Hobbit.’”) and Peter Jackson who says that they're "not even greenlit yet", and suggests that we "drop Warner Bros. a line and encourage them to be kind to [the film makers]".Also, according to High-Def Digest New Line/Warner has delayed The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Blu-ray.Oxonmoot 2009:Oxonmoot 2009 will take place at Lady Margaret Hall from September 25th to 27th. Advanced booking has now closed but you can still attend Oxonmoot and pay at the door. For more information, visit the Oxonmoot website.And lastly, according to Pieter...Festival In The Shire:Next year there will be organized a completely new Tolkien event, namely "Festival in the shire - A celebration of all things Tolkien inspired".It will be held from August 13th -15th, 2010 at Y Plas Machynlleth, Wales, United Kingdom. The town of Machynlleth is located on the edge of beautiful Snowdonia National Park and is the historic capital of Wales.There is not much known about this event yet, but it promises to be great! I have heard rumors that Ted Nasmith (the Tolkien artist), Jane Chance (the author of many Tolkien related books and articles) and John Garth (author of Tolkien and the Great War) and Tom Shippey (probably the greatest Tolkien scholar alive) are confirmed to be participating/attending. This event will be combining a Tolkien conference with an exhibition of Tolkien-related books, art, memorabilia and other fantasy items. The three-day event will feature food, music and entertainment.There is no website yet but I have been told it will be going live shortly.Tolkien fans that wish to provide input on the program planning and events related to Festival of the Shire are encouraged to do so.
