The 200 mile Cerddwn Ymlaen trek in aid of Wales Air Ambulance was successfully completed by tired walkers.
The walk started in Swansea on Saturday 13th July and ended in Caernarfon on Saturday 20th July and our DreamSeeker tourer was with the marathon walkers for every step of their journey.
The charity walk, led by opera singer Rhys Meirion, used our DreamSeeker as a back-up vehicle and it acted as a hub for the crew during the walk.
Wales Air Ambulance charity staff prepared and served snacks and light meals for the walkers from the DreamSeeker throughout the eight day trek and the media team dealt with all of their press activity from our 20 foot tourer.
Adrian Parry-Jones, Managing Director of Fifth Wheel Company, said: “We were delighted to be part of such a big event and to support a Welsh charity.
“The achievements of the walkers is incredible and we are very proud of each and every one of them. We look forward to extending our partnership with Wales Air Ambulance and supporting them in the future.”
So far the Cerddwn Ymlaen trek has raised over ?70,000 but donations will remain open until November and it is predicated that funds will reach ?92,000.

The Fifth Wheel Company is truly a family affair. Based in the stunning North Wales countryside of Rhuallt, Denbighshire, we founded the Fifth Wheel Company in 2002.
Originally set up by husband and wife team Mervyn and Jenny Parry-Jones in conjunction with their son Adrian – it wasn’t long before daughter Ceri moved back to join the team. So how did we end up designing and manufacturing fifth wheels? Well back in 1997, we managed a successful Massey Ferguson tractor dealership. Needing a comfortable base when exhibiting tractors at shows and events, we imported a fifth wheel from America. It wasn’t long before our new tourer was attracting interest among friends and colleagues. And this planted a seed in Mervyn’s mind.
“We loved the sheer comfort, luxury and flexibility of our tourer and realised that there was a gap in the UK market.”
In the 1990s the only option was to import from the US, followed by a lengthy and expensive process of conversion to ensure it met UK standards including brakes, electrics and gas systems. So when someone asked why we didn’t start producing them, we couldn’t think of a good reason. Within six months we had developed our first prototype of a UK version – more suited to smaller European roads and compliant with European standards – and the dream began to take shape.
“Since we started the Fifth Wheel Company in 2002, Fifth Wheel Co. have gone on to win numerous accolades, including The Caravan Club Design Awards five years in a row, been hailed as ‘the biggest thing to hit the UK caravan market in 20 years’ and achieved a verdict of 10 out of 10 by The Caravan Club Magazine.”
We’d love to meet you.
