In 2006, Swampy was living with his girlfriend and their three children in a yurt, a dome-shaped tent in 'Tipi Valley',[4] a remote New Age commune at Cwmdu near Llandeilo in West Wales. In 2007 the Sunday Mirror newspaper reported that he was taking part in the climate change protests at Heathrow Airport.[5] Swampy's presence on the protesters' site was dependent on his keeping a low profile, so his celebrity status would not detract from the protest.[6] As of 2013, he was still living in a commune in Wales with his family, working for the Forestry Commission and running marathons and half marathons.
