Walk/Training: Bryn and Waun Rydd. 19km/12 miles, 950m/3100ft ascent (Moderate)
The first Sunday walk of the New Year. This walk will also be a training and practice session for ‘finding your way’ map-reading skills. It will be especially useful for those who participated in the first ‘finding your way’ training session last November.
We will start at 9:30am at the Nant Tarthwynni parking area alongside Talybont Resevoir. This is not the parking by the dam but around one kilometer further along the road, grid reference SO 099196 (OS Explorer Map OL12).
This moderate walk of 19km/12miles with 950m/3100ft of ascent will take us through the Talybont Forest, up to to Bryn (SO 071227), from where we will be able to see our further ascent onto the wild high plateau of Waun Rydd (SO 062206). Once on the plateau we have options, according to progress. We will eventually descend via one of the ridges leading back to the start – either Twyn Du or Allt Llwyd. This will be in the dusk/dark so head torches are essential.
A colder period of weather is expected, with sub-zero temperatures and northerly winds. See the forecast for Waun Rydd.
As well as being a nice Winter walk, we will practice ‘finding your way’ map-reading skills. You will need your own copy of OS Explorer map OL12. We will take the time to ensure that walkers know where they are and can follow along, keeping note of their position as we proceed. Some prolonged stops are likely so it’s essential you have additional warm layers of clothing you can put on for these.
