SUMMARY:Training (half-day): Finding your way with a map
DESCRIPTION:Setting the map\, staying engaged with the map whilst walking to maintain awareness of current position\, and anticipating what lies ahead are fundamental to being able to find your way successfully in the outdoors.  \nJoin Alex for an afternoon of informal instruction and practice to develop your skills at Garn Lakes\, Blaenavon on Saturday 11th November 2023\, 1-4pm. \nFor a maximum of six people\, on a first come basis. \nFurther details: \nInform Alex by email or message that you’d like to attend. \nMeet at 1pm. \nPark on the access road for Garn Lakes\, outside the parking area as there’s a barrier with timed closure at dusk. Grid reference SO234096. Lat/lon coordinates for GoogleMaps: 51.780506\, -3.110990. \nBring wind/waterproofs and additional warm clothing/hat/gloves as we will stop often for instruction and discussion. Also\, drinks/snacks as you desire. \nThere’s no need to bring a map. This will be provided. However\, if you have a subscription to OS Maps or similar on your mobile phone\, please bring this with you as it can help to embed your learning. \nWe will begin by learning to appreciate the landscape around us and our position in it. We will identify significant features and relate these to equivalent map symbols. We will orientate the map to align with the landscape and see our current position on the map. Walking forward\, we will practice maintaining awareness of our position as it changes. We may do this several times\, progressing from easier to more difficult parts of the landscape. We will begin to anticipate what is coming up ahead of us. Overall\, we will probably walk 3 miles or so on gentle terrain. We will be stopping often to discuss what we are practicing and learning. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Walk: Carreg Cadno and Fan Fraith (Fforest Fawr). 17.5km/11miles\, 610m/2000ft ascent (Moderate)
DESCRIPTION:A moderate walk of 17.5km/11miles with 610m/2000ft ascent. For the discerning hillwalker\, we explore rarely visited above-ground features in the Ogof Ffynnon Ddu National Nature Reserve. After attaining the rocky summit of Carreg Cadno we will proceed across the moor via Pant Mawr Pot and through the forest to head for the grassy summit of Fan Fraith\, a peak often overlooked in favour of its higher and more well-known neighbour. After Fan Fraith we will return across the moor to find limestone pavements\, and the locked entrance of the OFD cave below; finally descending back to the starting point via a disused quarry tramway with wood sleepers still in situ in places. \n  \nStart 10.00am. Penwyllt Quarry. OS Explorer map OL12\, grid reference SN856155.
