SUMMARY:Outdoor climbs: '50@50' climbing special! Celebrating 50 years of Gwentmc
DESCRIPTION:Calling all climbers! As part of the club’s 50th anniversary\, a second climbing event is being planned- this one is outdoors. \nThe premise is to climb as many routes as you can between 1st April 2026 and the 15th August 2026. We need a list of the 50 best routes from the Wye Valley to Pembroke before April please. The routes can range from 4 to E2 ie. be fairly inclusive with the midrange going to be the most popular. There will be no leeway on the grades even if some E3’s in Pembroke are world class! \nThe BMC are aware of our celebrations and photos of climbs will be needed. \nReply to John Jones directly on WhatsApp and join the ’50 routes’ WhatsApp chat. \nOnce the routes are finalised we’ll publish a PDF of them. Get thinking and get some finger tape!

SUMMARY:50k for 50 years (50k50y) Anniversary Challenge\, 50km/31miles with 1\,250m/4\,100feet ascent (Challenging)
DESCRIPTION:Pete and Alex have put together “50k for 50 years” (50k50y)\, a route for a 50km/31miles one-day challenge walk on Saturday\, 27 June as part of the Club’s 50th anniversary celebrations. \nThe proposed route starts and finishes in Pontypool\, making an anticlockwise circuit of the hills above Pontypool\, Abersychan/Talywain and Blaenavon. In all\, a nice traverse of eleven summits (with distance from start)\, as follows: \n– Mynydd Garn Wen\, 4.9km\n– Mynydd Garnclochdy\, 6.7km\n– Mynydd y Garn-fawr\, 11.8km\n– Blorenge\, 14.2km\n– Mynydd Coety\, 24.3km\n– Mynydd Varteg Fawr\, 26.6km\n– Gwastad\, 30.6km\n– Byrgwm\, 32.8km\n– Mynydd Llanhilleth\, 34.6km\n– Cefn-y-Crib\, 37.9km\n– Mynydd Maen\, 44.5km \nWith an early start and 1\,250m/4\,100feet of ascent\, it will be a long day (15 hours); although hopefully one to remember. \nIf interested in taking part\, please get in touch with Pete. \nIf you’d like to walk just part of the route\, there is a regular and frequent bus-service (X24) in both directions between Pontypool and Blaenavon that allows you to join/leave the route at several points. If interested\, get in touch with Pete. \nAnd if you’d like to offer support and cheer participants along the way – perhaps delivering refreshments – again\, please contact Pete.
