SUMMARY:Walk: Mynydd Llangattock 17km/10.5miles (Moderate)
DESCRIPTION:Bleak\, desolate and lonely\, you may think\, but Mynydd Llangattock is home to more than 400 sites of archaeological interest – testament to the busy place it must have been in the past. \nJoin Alex for this moderately graded walk (17km/10.5 miles with 510m/1675ft of ascent) to explore. From our starting point in Crickhowell we will cross the River Usk and meander gently uphill to reach the Darren Cilau quarries. Here\, the intrepid may embark on 6 miles of the country’s hardest underground caving. We will give that a miss though and instead carry on overground to the bleak plateau and trig point of Tŵr Pen-cyrn [Mynydd Llangatwg]. Around the summit area we will visit a few of the archaeological sites\, being the remains of two square shelters\, a hut circle and the site of a battle in 728AD between Ethelred\, King of Mercia and Rhodri ap Idwal\, Prince of Gwynedd – Saxons slugging it out with Britons. \nHeading northwest across open\, possibly wet moorland\, we will aim to make use of what paths we can find to keep our feet as dry as possible while we navigate to a flooded swallow hole and then onward past the Witch’s Pool (Pwll Gwy-rhoc). Eventually\, we will reach the cairn of Eglwys Faen. One hundred metres below sits the well-known cave of the same name. Returning to the base of the Llangattock cliffs (route will depend on conditions) we will pick up an abandoned incline and tramway to make our return to Crickhowell. \nStart time: 9:30am. Start point: Crickhowell High School / Leisure Centre car park. \nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.

SUMMARY:Walk Saturday: Wolf Moon Walk. 17km/10.6miles\, 740m/2430ft (Moderate)
DESCRIPTION:This night walk will take place late afternoon and evening on Saturday 11th January. A head torch and spare batteries are essential. Please also bring your usual food/drink for a 5- to 6-hour/10mile walk. \nJanuary’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because it was believed (incorrectly) that wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time. This moon is also known as the Moon After Yule\, Ice Moon or Old Moon. Nevertheless\, a near full (95%) Moon and the hope of clear\, cold weather offers the opportunity for a splendidly lit night walk across the central Brecon Beacons. \nFurther details will be sent by email. \n  \nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.
