Newport Quakers climbed Fan y Bîg in the Brecon Beacons last month, as part of the Journey to COP26 initiative, where people went on pilgrimages to celebrate the natural world. Three local Friends and two guests climbed to the summit on 10 April to unfurl their recently-crafted Newport Quaker banner, as well as Cardiff Extinction Rebellion’s ‘All Roads lead to COP26’ banner.
