My Country Walks



Welcome to my new blog following my move to the Cotswolds in early 2018.

Previously living on the edge of Dartmoor I shared details of my walks on Dartmoor on my previous blog My Dartmoor Walks. As I explore this new area I will share details of the routes here.

Friday 8th March - Brecon Beacons

A different walk today with the Brecon Beacons Park Society. Starting from the layby below Cerrig-gleisiad. 8 miles with 1500ft ascent. Some sunshine but with a very strong easterly wind. We headed out towards Twyn Dylluan-ddu. Then along the ridge to Fan Frynych, aroudn the edge of Craig Cerrig-gleisiad and through the boggy bit to Fan Fawr. The plan had been to go to the top of Fan Fawr but our leader decided for safety reasons, given the high winds to not go to the top. So down to the Storey Arms, along the Taff Trail and steeply up to the start.
