The stunning backdrop of Newton Beach, near Porthcawl is set to be the venue for the first speed dating walk in South Wales on Sunday, October 7, from 3.30pm. The event is part of Bridgend Council’s Love2Walk Festival; a nine-day celebration of all things pedestrian and follows in the footsteps of a successful speed dating walk on the Isle of Wight. Tourism officers there noticed a lot of single people turning out for organised walks and set up a trial speed dating stroll. People came from as far and wide as London, Birmingham and Kent. In the six years since it was established, the event has been responsible for four marriages and a baby.
