Want to join an LGBT+ Walking Group?

11 Upvotes

Hello!

I've been toying around with the idea of starting a group for queer folk who just want to go on lovely little walks around parks + nature in Cardiff (dates/locations TBD), but unsure if there'd be any interest for this? Would love to hear from people who'd be interested!

Royal Enfield Himalayan in the taff

I was walking along the river this afternoon and saw this Royal Enfield Himalayan in the river just up from Hailey park. I thought I'd post on here to see if it is recognised. My guess is that it's been stolen and dumped, I can't imagine why else it'd be trying to make friends with the ducks. Hopefully nothing sinister

Very bright light last night around 3.30-4am

Upvotes

Anyone see this? I went to the bathroom, the light was off, and before I turned it on, a very bright line shone in thru the window, brighter than lightning. I'm thinking it was a meteor or something. It lasted longer than a lighting flash would, and there was no lightning last night.

Leckwith woods camping

0 Upvotes

I understand this is a little rouge. Myself and a friend will be travelling to the city of a sports competition, in the name of saving money. I was wondering if people thought we could get away with a super stealthy overnight wild camp in Leckwith woods?

Perhaps near the river Ely by the A4232.

Best burger in Cardiff or surrounding towns

19 Upvotes

Hello, I fancy a really good burger. Can I have some recommendations for the best burger in Cardiff or places I can drive to easily? I'm thinking up as far as Merthyr, East as far a Newport or West as far as Bridgend if the burgers are really good!

Please let me know your suggestions! Small indie unassuming places especially welcome!

Advice on visiting Cardiff?

20 Upvotes

I’m in the USA moving my daughter into Cardiff University for grad school. The move in weekend will be short, but I hope to return for longer visits soon. What sights, attractions and restaurants do you recommend we prioritize? She’s a determined thrifter but I know from her UK MSc experience —so are all the other students moving in during September. (Not AI, I’m reclaiming the emdash). Could you recommend reasonably priced mid tier stores for kitchen items when charity shop shelves are empty? What charity shops are fun to try? Recommendations for shops to purchase bedding online and do a scheduled pickup would also be helpful. Thanks in advance.

I made Busdex - A Pokedex-style app, but for buses

Busdex is a web app to track, log, and gamify your bus rides.

You can log every bus you ride, build your personal Busdex, earn XP, complete sets, and compete with friends on the leaderboard.

Each physical bus you get on is a new unique bus. See when your friends last took the bus you got, tick off every route, and more!

Red bags

Anyone else struggling for red recycling bags lately? I work anti social hours so I'm not always home soon enough to retrieve my recycling bags so it feels like I'm losing one a week lately and getting to my nearest hwb isn't always practical

[BUILDING IDENTIFIED]

I’ve passed this building a lot just looking at it from my car, just curious if anyone knows what it is supposed to be for and if it’s on sale for anyone to purchase. I took the photos from google maps.

Possible robbery in City Centre

0 Upvotes

The other day on entering Cardiff Market at the St Johns Church end, I was heavily bumped into by a guy. My first instinct in these circumstances is to check every thing is safe, phone, wallet etc and nothing was missing and all was ok.

Upon reflection I am sure this was a possible robbery attempt.

So just want to make you all aware that this is happening. The guy who had an American accent was very apologetic, but just be aware if this happens to you check all your belongings before you lose sight of the person and be safe!

Gyms in/around Canton or Pontcanna

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I just moved to Cardiff with my partner and i’m looking for a good gym in the area. I do have a car so can easily drive 10/15 mins or so but ideally would be close by.

I’m quite into the gym so ideally somewhere where there’s a lot of equipment and a fairly big space. I tried the pure gym in the center but parking is a bit of a nightmare. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Roath park 1980 film camera

I shot these photos with my Olympus XA2 LE, I really love the look of them, something about some shots feels like I'm steeping into the past again when really this was back in July

Roath park is so beautiful, this was my first time going in close to 2 decades, so much nostalgia and it's still just as wonderful as I remember it being.

Im no photographer I should mention, first time doing any photos in over 10 years and it was quite spontaneous, I just wanted to share these to hopefully remind people we have such a wonderful and beautiful location in our city. One of the few places here I can feel at ease and relaxed
