As part of a range of activity announced by BBC Cymru Wales to raise money for BBC Children in Need, Derek Brockway will be in Pembrokeshire for a special episode of Weatherman Walking as he walks from St Davids to Whitesands.

He will be celebrating some of the incredible work done by charities and projects from across Wales which are supported by BBC Children in Need.

Throughout the episode viewers will hear from organisations including RAY Ceredigion, which gives children and young people living in rural areas of West Wales new opportunities, along with a range of charities and projects from across Wales.

The special episode of Weatherman Walking for Children in Need will air on Wednesday, November 13 at 8pm on BBC1 Wales.

Elsewhere, BBC Radio Cymru’s Aled Hughes will be undertaking an extraordinary 135-mile hike from Holywell to Aberdaron, retracing the steps of pilgrims from centuries ago. Aled will be attempting to walk over 20 miles a day, covering particularly challenging terrain. Accompanying Aled on the week’s walk is mountain leader and expert, Merfyn Jones, along with guests including comedians Tudur Owen and Katie Gill-Williams, and presenters Gerallt Pennant and Dilwyn Morgan.

Aled’s walk will take place across the week leading up to the BBC Children in Need Big Night of TV (November 9-15).

Before that, BBC Radio Wales’ Jason Mohammad and BBC Radio Cymru 2’s Dom James are taking part in an epic swimming challenge with colleagues from across BBC radio networks to swim a combined 1,000 miles for BBC Children in Need. 

Cheered on and supported by former Team GB swimmers and Olympians Rebecca Adlington and Mark Foster, Jason is attempting to swim a total of 12 miles across five days (November 4-8), accompanied each day by fellow presenters Lucy Owen, Molly Palmer, Behnaz Akhgar, Ian Hunt, Eleri Sion and Dom James, who will endeavour to swim 12 miles between them to reach the combined attempted BBC Cymru Wales distance of 24 miles.
