Charity kayak challenge around Welsh coast

A former Wales rugby captain is leading a team of kayakers on a nine-day challenge around the coast of Wales.

Paul Thornburn and his crew set off yesterday, to raise money for the families of soldiers who have lost their lives in conflict.

Paul says he was compelled to take up the challenge after meeting an injured soldier two years ago.

It was a Wales England game. A few of the troops came in and unfortunately one of them was being pushed in in a wheelchair and he had both of his legs missing, and an arm. He's been caught up in an IED in Afghanistan and I thought I should do something for charity. I've run a marathon, cycled on a bike, so I thought this was something different.

Cloudier for some, sunnier for others

by James Wright

We're sandwiched between cloud and rain to the south with more rain to the north. In between there's plenty of sunshine around and some good temperatures too. Highs of 17-18C but feeling a touch cooler around the north and west coasts where an onshore breeze develops.

Tonight more cloud pushes down across Wales courtesy of a weak warm front that brings light patchy rain to north east Wales and some mist and fog. Elsewhere it's increasingly cloudy but the cloud stops it getting too cold with lows of 8-10C.

Monday sees the front pushing southwestwards across Wales bringing light patchy rain at times and some murky misty weather. In to the afternoon the front clears and some of the cloud breaks up to reveal brighter weather with maybe some sunny spells.

Once again the thermometer could reach 18C in places in the sunnier moments but it will be cooler around the north and west coasts thanks for a brisk northerly breeze.
