Hundreds of volunteers will attempt to set a new world record on Friday when they gather to clean the River Taff.

Organisers said 1,330 people have signed up to attend the event along the river between its source in the Bannau Brycheiniog national park, also known as the Brecon Beacons, and Cardiff Bay.

The current world record for a volunteer river clean-up stands at 329 people, which was achieved on the River Ganges in India in February 2025.

This is great, but I'm surprised that I haven't heard anything about it. I live in Rhondda Cynon Taff, and at the edge of Bannau Brechiniog, but I haven't seen anything on social media, nothing from the council, and haven't heard anyone talking about it.

Let's hope the weather stays dry and they have a good day :)
