Weatherman Walking to visit St Davids for book signing event
Welsh weather forecaster Derek Brockway will be celebrating the launch of his latest book at a book signing event taking place at Oriel y Parc Gallery and Visitor Centre on Saturday 21 August between 1.30pm-2.30pm.
Weatherman Walking – The Welsh Coast was published in May as an accompaniment to the twelfth series of the popular BBC programme, hosted by beloved Welsh weatherman, Derek Brockway.
The book features a series of guided walks around the Welsh Coast, including several in Pembrokeshire, along with OS route maps, essential information for walkers and a wealth of interesting background information about the landmarks and unusual local activities that may be spotted along the way.
Wales is the first country in the world to have a continuous footpath stretching along its entire coastline – 870 miles or 1,400 km long. The Pembrokeshire Coast Path, described by Lonely Planet as “one of the best long distance trails in the world”, celebrated its 50th birthday last year. Stretching from St Dogmaels in the north of the county to Amroth in the south, the 186-mile route passes through a range of spectacular maritime landscapes and sites of archaeological interest.
Oriel y Parc Manager, Claire Bates, said:
“We are delighted to be hosting Derek Brockway’s book signing this Saturday. Pre-booking is not required, but visitors are advised that Covid-19 restrictions will apply.
“Those who are unable to attend on the day should contact Oriel y Parc beforehand to reserve their signed copy of Weatherman Walking – The Welsh Coast.”
