South Wales and the surrounding areas are one of the few areas in the country where we can study a range of issues relating to the control of flooding and those linked to the regeneration of cities.  Based at a Youth Hostel the trip involved 4 days of outdoor work to Blaenavon, Cardiff Bay and City Centre, Oxwich Bay, Port Eynon and Porthcawl. The sun shone, the daffodils bloomed and the little lambs gambolled.
