SUMMARY:Walk: Wild Fforest Fawr 22km/13.5miles\, 835m/2740ft ascent (Moderate/Hard)
DESCRIPTION:In the Middle Ages\, “forest” referred to land demarcated for hunting by the nobility. Lying between the Brecon Beacons to the east and the Carmarthen Fans (Black Mountain) to the west\, Fforest Fawr was once extensively wooded. Populated by red deer\, several areas were also set aside for the breeding of rabbits for meat and fur. Today this desolate upland is known mainly for sheep and cattle farming\, water catchment\, and conifer plantations. With extant prehistoric monuments and sites of scientific interest it is a remote walking area in the middle of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.\n\nStarting from the car park in Ystradfellte village\, our moderate to hard walk of 22km/13.5miles with 835m/2740ft ascent will take us on a journey through the wildest and least frequented parts\, where (weather permitting) we can view the scenic panorama that is the Fforest Fawr mountain range of Fan Gyhirych\, Fan Fraith\, Fan Nedd\, Fan Llia\, and Fan Fawr. We will journey through the rough and wild landscape to ascend and traverse the first three of these summits before returning to our starting point.\n\nStart at 9.30am. OS Explorer Map OL12\, grid reference SN929134.\nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.

SUMMARY:Evening Walk: Mynydd Machen
DESCRIPTION:Pauline’s walk this Thursday evening is a ”there and back again” up Mynydd Machen from Risca. It’s a steady and gradual climb along shaded\, but stony paths emerging into moorland before the final walk up to the trig point. There are extensive views from the top if the weather allows and as with most of the Welsh valleys the industrial history of this area is really very interesting. \nMeet at MSJB Motors NP11 6DP. OS Explorer 152\, grid reference SO 237 905. Take the M4 to J27\, then the B4591 to Risca. In Risca\, pass the park on your right and take the next left at the Railway Tavern. Follow the road up under the bridge\, past Dan y Graig Bungalows to park on the road. \nRefreshments at The Darran\, NP11 6GU. \nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.

SUMMARY:Weekend trip: Introduction to scrambling\, North Wales
DESCRIPTION:Weekend trip to a hut nestled between Tryfan and the Carneddau Mountains in North Wales 13th – 15th September 2024. \nKath and Jon Singleton have agreed to organise some introduction to scrambling sessions over the weekend of 13th to 15th September. The plan is to do a Grade 1 scramble on the Saturday and if abilities of the group and weather allow\, will do a harder Grade 1 or Grade 2 route on Sunday. \nIf you don’t fancy scrambling\, there is the opportunity to arrange your own activities using the hut as a base and meet up with the scramblers in the evening. \nIf you are interested in attending please email Jo Dodd and let her know if you are signing up for scrambling or not so Jo can arrange enough leaders.  Jo will take names on a first come first served basis and then hold a list in case anyone drops out. Full details have been shared in an email sent by Jo 3rd Feb 2024. \n  \n

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.
