🥾👏 Repost from • @this.girlwalks The weekend is in sight and the sun is shining, perfect exploring weather if you ask me. This shot is from a walk I did led by @christywydd_welshweatherman for @visitthevale who have ten different trails to choose from to help you discover the world of coastal and countryside walks on your doorstep. Go check out @visitthevale website for details of the routes. Also, can I just say that I’m a little obsessed with my @acaioutdoorwear shorts, stretchy, water resistant and they don’t ride up. Winner. 📸 by @neil_holman #visitthevale #thisgirlcan #thisgirlwalks #thisismywales #visitwales
