SUMMARY:Walk: Pen Allt Mawr and Pen Cerrig-calch. 16km/10miles\, 770m/2530ft ascent (Moderate\, just)
DESCRIPTION:Our walk\, which is at the lower end of the moderate grade\, begins from the High School / Leisure Centre car park in Crickhowell (9:30am. OS Explorer map OL13\, grid reference SO 216185). \nWe will walk out of Crickhowell following the Beacons Way as it makes its way towards the southwest corner of Pen Cerrig Calch\, where we will ascend the Darren. Near the top we will skirt the steep-sided bowl that is Cwm Mawr (Great Cwm) towards the subsidiary summit of Pen Gloch-y-pibwr before eventually reaching Pen Allt-mawr summit (719m). From here we will turn towards Pen Cerrig-calch (701m). After briefly touching the trig point on Pen Cerrig-calch we will descend towards Table Mountain and so back to Crickhowell. \nFor your safety and the safety of other members\, we advise minimum personal equipment requirements for all our walks.

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: Great Cwm Horseshoe. 18km/11.2miles\, 840m/2755ft ascent (Moderate)
DESCRIPTION:Our walk\, which begins from the High School / Leisure Centre car park in Crickhowell (9:30am. OS Explorer map OL13\, grid reference SO 216185) is essentially a high-level walk rising to and around the rim of the Great Cwm (Cwm Mawr in Welsh). This large\, steep-sided bowl is cut into the south-western aspect of the Pen Allt Mawr / Pen Cerrig Calch massif of the Black Mountains. It’s best seen from the village of Bwlch to the west. \nWe will walk out of Crickhowell following the Beacons Way as it makes its way around the southwest side of the massif and across the bottom of the Great Cwm until we are able to ascend the ridge known as Bryniog. This will take us to the subsidiary summit of Pen Gloch-y-pibwr before eventually reaching Pen Allt-mawr summit (719m). From here we will turn to walk towards Pen Cerrig-calch (701m). We will hopefully have great views in all directions. After briefly touching the trig point on Pen Cerrig-calch we will begin our descent by briefly skirting part of the rim of the Great Cwm before heading down over Darren to Cwm Cumbeth\, which we will then follow back into Crickhowell. \nAlthough we do not anticipate it will be needed\, please bring your head torch.
