A 53-year-old ex-soldier who is riding a tractor around the country to raise cash for our troops will be stopping off at Senghenydd and Caerphilly on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Terry Williams, who was born in Abertridwr but now lives in Somerset, set off from Virginia Ash, in Somerset on May 2.
Since then he has covered hundreds of miles and will make it into Senghenydd on Tuesday to stay for one night before taking his tractor through Caerphilly.
Terry, who is also a former pig farmer, is travelling the country on the tractor for nine months to raise cash for charity Afghan Heroes.
In that time he will travel 16,560 miles and hopefully break the world record for the longest tractor journey.
While he rides the Landlegend DF 254 tractor around the UK, travelling 60 miles a day, Terry is wearing the beret of the 1st Battalion Light Infantry Regiment, which he served with between 1972 and 1985.
He said: “It is to honour all our fallen heroes in Afghanistan and I pay tribute to all of them still out there.”
Terry should be arriving at Caerphilly Castle on Wednesday afternoon.

Great effort to raise much needed help for the lads and lasses who are prepared to stand up and be counted. Perhaps Tony Blair would like to do similar – he sent our troops on an illegal war in Iraq as well as to Afghanistan. Oh, I forgot, he's too busy making money for himself….
