FUW Group set to help Team Wales win the #Run1000 challenge in 2022

 

FUW Glyn Roberts-2

 The FUW Ltd. Group is once again taking part in one of the biggest walking and running challenges yet, as it joins five nations who have teamed up to inspire rural communities to take to the countryside to help improve their mental health.

The challenge, #Run1000, is calling on people to sign up to be part of one of five teams – England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and New Zealand.

The competition will take place from January 1 to January 31, 2022 and will see each team run or walk 1,000 miles, with the nation that reaches the milestone first announced as the winner. 

Life as a young farmer in Cwm Penmachno

Life as a young farmer in Cwm Penmachno: Iwan Jones 3

If Cwm Penmachno is to prevail as a thriving agricultural area it will be down to young farmers such as Iwan Jones - a first generation farmer.

Iwan grew up in Penmachno and can’t remember a time when he wasn't either playing or helping out on farms in the valley.

Two years ago he and partner, Gwawr took the tenancy of Carrog, an 80 acre smallholding in the upper reaches of Cwm Penmachno. In a move which is becoming more and more common in the industry, Iwan combines the main farm with another parcel of land nearer the coast and some common land to keep 300 sheep. However, he is hoping to move into keeping a small herd of beef cattle in the coming years. 

Farming father and son team share memories and concerns

Farming father and son team share memories and concerns: Robert and Gwynfor Davies

Being forced by the government to grow oats on rough land and watching the first tractor arrive in a village are just two memories from a lifetime of farming for one Farmers’ Union of Wales member.

Robert Davies and his son Gwynfor between them have more than 130 years experience of farming in Cwm Penmachno.

“My father was a quarryman whose interest wasn’t really in farming. But that’s what I wanted to do and my father knew that so he took on Pen y Bryn until my mother and I started farming after I left school aged 15.

Farming keeps our sense of communities alive, says Cwm Penmachno farmer

Farming keeps our sense of communities alive, says Cwm Penmachno farmer: Dafydd Gwyndaf

For Dafydd Gwyndaf the tragedy of Cwm Penmachno is the diminishing sense of Welsh community.

He is in a unique position to notice the changes across the generations. He said: “ I’m the third generation on this farm and the family was in the valley before that. My roots are very deep in the Machno Valley.”

Dafydd remembers when the valley was almost wholly Welsh and laments the changes: “The first ever branch of the Urdd was established here, there were also two chapels and an annual eisteddfod held in the villages. I remember the first English family coming to live here and within a few weeks the two children were fluent in Welsh. It was either that or nothing because we hardly spoke any English at all.”

2021 in review with FUW President, Glyn Roberts

2021 has been another year of challenges for the agricultural industry, but as always, we have taken the stumbling blocks into our stride.

Our year started in a very different way than usual - the long standing farmhouse breakfast week went virtual, as in person events were still not possible due to covid-19 restrictions. Nonetheless, the team managed to raise thousands for our charity the DPJ Foundation. We are now looking forward to having breakfast either in person or virtually in the New Year, so keep your eyes peeled for information local to you and get in touch with your county office for more details. 

Our teams, including staff from FUW Insurance Services Ltd., also joined forces to combat poor mental health as they joined others as part of the #Run1000 challenge to inspire rural communities to take to the countryside to help improve their mental health. The winner of the challenge to reach the 1000 milestone was Wales and the FUW Ltd. group team contributed a total of 1,156 miles to the overall 64,785 miles recorded across all teams around the world.
