Allt and Llangors Lake, 30 November 2024
It was damp but very warm for the seven Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including good friend Karen) at the start of our 7.5 mile walk from the lay-by near Tal-y-Bryn today. Fleeces were discarded and raincoats put on ready for the long climb northwards up the Roman road to Allt yr Esgair where we had a refreshing cuppa and enjoyed some superb scenery, Llangorse lake on one side and the Usk on the other. Still heading northwards, we did a loop by Tymawr farm and on to the picnic area at Llangasty-Talyllyn. Sadly, the picnic area was flooded so we continued in a big loop to the road and retraced our steps to the underground (I think) reservoir where we had lunch. Under worsening conditions, we then took a different track back down to the lay-by. A big thanks to Geoff and Judith for leading us safely through the mire and to all for the great company.
