Weatherman Derek Brockway explores the Rhondda Valley with a walk starting in Porth and finishing in Taff鈥檚 Well.
Derek the Weather is kissed by the sun in this walk, which kicks off on the edge of the Rhondda Valley. He takes the plunge in the National Lido of Wales in Pontypridd on his walk between Porth and Taff鈥檚 Well.
But there鈥檚 a serious element too as he follows a route commemorating the first mining disaster in Wales to claim more than 100 lives, many of them boy miners. Dr Erin Lloyd Jones tells the story of three young brothers who perished in that Cymmer Colliery tragedy of 1856.
