Setting off from UN1T 7, a popular biker café in Llanelli, the convoy enjoyed sunshine and scenic views as they cruised through the Towy Valley before making a striking pit stop at the Cawdor Hotel in Llandeilo. Spectators were treated to a gleaming display of motorcycles that brought traffic to a temporary halt, with many stopping to snap photos of the unique spectacle.

From Llandeilo, the riders crossed the River Towy and meandered along country lanes to Llanarthne, where they received special access to the National Botanic Garden of Wales. There, against the backdrop of the Great Glasshouse, the group created a picture-perfect moment for onlookers and participants alike.

This year's local ride, organised by Dan Stickland, has already raised close to £4,000. Across Wales, similar rides took place in Cardiff, Pembrokeshire, Rhyl, Swansea and Ystradgynlais, joining over 1,000 coordinated events held simultaneously in 108 countries.
Since its inception in 2012, The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride has raised nearly 60 million US dollars for men's health causes globally.

Esta rules, phone searches and simple travel hacks: Everything you need to know about US travel in 2025
The US is on sale this summer. Even the most guarded aviation executive concedes that bookings for transatlantic flights are 'soft'. At a time when airlines would hope to charge upwards of £1,000 for a round-trip from the UK to the US, prices are being slashed to fill seats. From London Heathrow to New York JFK on 1 August for a fortnight, Virgin Atlantic wants only £549 return. For a much longer trip on British Airways from Heathrow to Denver, I paid just £620. These are absurd fares for peak summer flights. The catch is: when you touch down, things may be rather different from your last visit. As soon as Donald Trump returned to the White House, he signed an executive order demanding that foreigners should be 'vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible' on arrival. Since then, some high-profile deportations of travellers deemed not suitable for admission have taken place. LGBTQ+ travellers, as well as those who are politically active, may have particular concerns. These are the key questions and answers. Will I be able to get an Esta without too much trouble? Probably – and even if you have no immediate plans to visit the US you should consider enrolling as soon as possible for the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (Esta), to swerve an impending price rise. After a 50 per cent price hike in 2022, the current $21 (£16) fee is set almost to double to $40 (£30), though no date has yet been set. The Esta scheme came into effect in 2009. These essential online permits are usually granted within a few hours. An Esta gives permission to travel to the United States for business or tourism for stays of up to 90 days without a visa. Note that it does not guarantee entry; as the Australian government advises its citizens: 'You can be refused entry if you provide false information or can't satisfy the officials you're visiting for a valid reason.' The authorities may ask to see your return ticket or one onward to a country that is not Canada, Mexico or a Caribbean nation, and demand proof you have enough money to support yourself during your stay. What if I have been to Cuba? It depends when you were on the island. At the end of his first term, on 12 January 2021, President Trump designated Cuba a 'state sponsor of terrorism'. Anyone who is found to have visited Cuba on or after this date is not eligible for Esta and must apply for a visa. Getting a US visa is a long, cumbersome and expensive process. Travellers with fresh passports have not reported any problems. Any other 'no-go' countries? Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen; any visit since March 2011 disqualifies you from Esta. What if I am a transgender person? In an Executive Order, President Trump instructed: 'It is the policy of the United States to recognise two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality. 'Gender ideology' replaces the biological category of sex with an ever-shifting concept of self-assessed gender identity, permitting the false claim that males can identify as and thus become women and vice versa.' It is widely believed that arrivals must have travel documents corresponding to their birth gender. But the Customs and Border Protection agency (CBP) says: 'A foreign traveler's gender as indicated on their passport and their personal beliefs about sexuality do not render a person inadmissible.' How onerous is the arrival process? Many people find it slower (I waited 90 minutes at New York JFK in May) and more thorough than before. Immediately upon taking office, President Trump ordered much tougher controls on 'all aliens seeking admission to the United States,' demanding they are 'vetted and screened to the maximum degree possible'. Paul Charles, chief executive of travel consultancy The PC Agency, has flown several times in the last two months to different US ports of entry: Miami, Chicago and New York. He says: 'Surprisingly, I was straight through – and I wasn't first off the plane. It was very smooth. Now, that's in a slightly less busy period. If you're travelling during July and August, it's peak, so chances are you will have to wait longer when you arrive at immigration. They're asking more questions.' More in-depth questioning takes up time, which helps explain some very long waits. Paul Charles says one time-saving practice has been adopted: 'They're not stamping passports really anymore because they have all your details digitally from your Esta application.' Bear in mind that if you are transiting to another country, for example flying London-Miami-Lima, you must clear CBP checks as though you were planning to stay in the US for months. Will I have my phone examined? 'Officials may ask to inspect your electronic devices, emails, text messages, and social media activity,' the Foreign Office warns. 'If you refuse, they can delay or deny your entry.' Last year there was a one in 10,000 chance of having your social media history examined. That means from every 30 wide-bodied jets arriving from abroad to the US, one passenger will have their social media scrutinised. The proportion has probably increased. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says: 'Officers may search a traveler's mobile phone, computer, camera, or other electronic devices during the inspection process. 'All travelers are obligated to present their electronic devices and the information resident on the device in a condition that allows for the examination of the device and its contents. If the electronic device cannot be inspected because it is protected by a passcode or encryption or other security mechanism, that device may be subject to exclusion, detention, or other appropriate action or disposition. 'Additionally, the traveler may face longer processing times to allow for CBP to access the contents of the device.' There are two levels of search, according to the CBP: 'A basic search generally entails an officer reviewing the contents of the device manually without the assistance of any external equipment. 'An advanced search is any search in which an officer connects external equipment to an electronic device not merely to gain access to the device, but to review, copy, and/or analyse its contents.' The CBP says only 10 per cent of device searches are 'advanced'. Any hacks to make the experience easier? Travel to the US via Ireland. At Dublin and Shannon airports, passengers bound for the US are ' pre-cleared ' by CBP officials. You check in as usual, go through one universal security check and a separate enhanced inspection, and then are examined at what is effectively the US frontier. Any problems can be addressed while you are still on Irish soil, rather than at a US airport where you are at risk of deportation. If you are going to be rejected, better for this to happen before you have taken off. The vast majority of travellers will be passed for boarding, and at the end of the transatlantic are treated as domestic arrivals – with no wait, unlike the tired masses queuing for CBP checks. Some good news? For flights from US airports, it is no longer necessary to remove your shoes at security. The Homeland Security secretary, Kristi Noem, said: 'Ending the 'Shoes-Off' policy is the latest effort DHS is implementing to modernize and enhance traveler experience across our nation's airports. 'We expect this change will drastically decrease passenger wait times at our TSA checkpoints, leading to a more pleasant and efficient passenger experience. 'This initiative is just one of many the Trump administration is pursuing to usher in the President's vision for a new Golden Age of American travel.'

Flight cancellations are soaring this summer: These are the US airports suffering the most disruption
Flight cancellations in the US are surging this summer, according to a data study. Research found that the cancellation rate across the US is up about 29 percent, from 1.4 percent of flights being canceled in the summer of 2024, to 1.8 percent in 2025. CBS News, after analysing data from flight tracker FlightAware, said that the number of canceled flights between the Wednesday before Memorial Day through July 14, 2025, had risen by 1,000 compared to 2024. And according to aviation analytics firm Cirium, airports on the East Coast are suffering worse cancellation rates than elsewhere. The airport with the highest cancellation rate is Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, where cancellations have surged by 274 percent, with six percent of flights axed. In second place is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (up 257 percent), followed by Washington Dulles International Airport (104 percent), Boston Logan International Airport (68 percent) and LaGuardia Airport (65 percent). Some airports, however, have seen fewer cancellations. Cancellations at Miami International Airport are down 40 percent and down 25 percent at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. On the West Coast, cancellations are down 21 percent at San Francisco International Airport and down 12 percent at Los Angeles International Airport. Cirium has also revealed the best North American airlines for on-time performance this year. Air Canada tops the table, with 77.15 percent of its flights arriving on time, with Spirit Airlines second (75.77 percent) and Delta third (75.62 percent). It comes as Cirium predicts that today will be the busiest day for flight departures in the US in 2025. Chicago O'Hare is scheduled to see the highest number of planes taking off, followed by Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver and Los Angeles. There are scheduled to be over 28,314 departures from airports in the US on July 18 – equating to over 3.8 million seats.

Royal Caribbean cruise horror as mystery virus outbreak leaves 140 passengers vomiting
More than 140 people on a Royal Caribbean cruise suffered with the mystery illness, with passengers and crew experiencing vomiting, cramps and diarrhoea onboard Navigator of the Seas A luxury cruise turned into a nightmare after a mystery illness impacted more than 140 people. A total of 134 passengers and seven crew members onboard the Royal Caribbean ship Navigator of the Seas reported grim symptoms including stomach cramps, diarrhoea and vomiting, according to the US-based Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is not clear what caused the outbreak on the cruise, which took passengers from Los Angeles in the US to Mexico and ended on July 11. The CDC said extra cleaning measures had been put in place by Royal Caribbean and those affected had been isolated. 'The health and safety of our guests, crew, and the communities we visit are our top priority,' a spokesperson for parent company Royal Caribbean Group told USA Today. 'To maintain an environment that supports the highest levels of health and safety onboard our ships, we implement rigorous cleaning procedures, many of which far exceed public health guidelines.' So far in 2025, 18 gastrointestinal illness outbreaks on cruise ships have reached a CDC threshold for public notification. There were 18 in the whole of 2024 and 14 in 2023. Most cases are linked to norovirus, which can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, body aches including stomach pains, a headache and high temperature. It usually gets better in around two to three days. This comes after an industry expert said small ship cruise lines may stop putting close-up images of polar bears in brochures because of new restrictions in Norway. Akvile Marozaite, chief executive of UK-based global representative body Expedition Cruise Network, said limits on how close ships can get to the animals means the sector must change 'how we communicate' with travellers. Polar bears are a key draw for people embarking on sailings to Norwegian-ruled archipelago Svalbard, as they can be observed in their natural Arctic habit. But concerns about interference from humans means the government has banned ships in the region from being closer than 500 metres from the animals. Ms Marozaite said the sector is partly paying the price for 'always talking about polar bears' in relation to Svalbard trips. She told the PA news agency: 'Of course they are something that people want to see, but expedition cruising to Svalbard is actually an incredible opportunity to experience a lot of other things about the is incredible human history, beautiful scenery, other species of wildlife.' Ms Marozaite said cruise lines are continuing to show their guests polar bears, some by sailing closer to Greenland. The impact of Norway's distance rule is 'more to do with how we communicate', she said. 'The communication around Arctic voyages is going to change. Companies hopefully will no longer be putting close-up images of polar bears on the brochure. 'That's a good thing, because finally we will start talking about the destination the way it should be talked about.' But expedition leader and photographer Paul Goldstein criticised the new regulations. He told The Independent's travel podcast: 'This is a classic example of what I term 'conservation fascism'. I have led small ship charters in the region since 2004. 'Never once have I seen a single incident where tourists intimidate or affect the behaviour of polar bears.' He added that if a camera lens 'the size of a Stinger missile' is required to see polar bears then most visitors will miss out. Norway's minister of climate and environment Andreas Bjelland Erikse previously said the rules are necessary as climate change is 'leading to more difficult conditions for polar bears on Svalbard'. He went on: 'It is important for them to be able to search for food, hunt, rest and take care of their cubs without interference from humans. 'That is why we must keep a good distance.' The minimum distance will be reduced to 300 metres from July 1. The Norwegian government said visitors to Svalbard have 'a duty to retreat to a legal distance' if they encounter a polar bear that is too close. Ships are also banned from carrying more than 200 passengers in the region.
