27 September 25 - Pencelli & Llanfrynach circular
9 ramblers including guests Naritha, Alice and Nathan started from the lay-by in Pencelli and headed towards Llanfrynach, turning up towards Blaennant Farm. We then took a footpath and eventually arrived at a stile (which had a dog gate). From there, we took a fairly steep route up towards the Bryn.
20 September 25 - Crug Mawr
Yesterday, 9 hardy ramblers set off from the free forestry car park at Pond Cadwgan for our adventure to Partishrow & Crug Mawr. A big welcome to guest walker Rosaleen, great to have you join us! The forecast looked bleak, and it wasn’t the best moment for me to realise I’d forgotten my coat… luckily, the ever-resourceful Alan saved the day with a spare.
13 September 25 - Chartist Caves
The Chartist's Cave. After a blustery, wet walk out of Trefil village....the rain cleared at the Aneurin Bevan memorial where there were clearly some strange goings on. A lone stone building had appeared....which we soon realised was part of a film set.
6 September 25 - Three Cliffs Bay
John's walks never fail to challenge and surprise you and today's 8.5 mile walk was no exception. With sadly no ladies nor dogs, the four of us made our way from the car park in warm but overcast weather onto the beach at three cliffs bay. Crossing the Pennard Pill stream on the beach proved a bit of a challenge but the sun came out as we paddled across successfully and so we had our first cuppa on the beach.
30 August 25 - Tintern & Tidenham Tunnel
Yesterday I had the pleasure of leading 11 fellow ramblers (including our welcome guest Lucy from Lower Wye Ramblers) on a fantastic circular walk from Tintern Old Station. Originally opened in 1876, Tintern Station served as a busy stop on the Wye Valley Railway until 1964, and today it's a lovely visitor centre surrounded by riverside scenery.
24 August 25 - Aberdare - Cwmbach circular
Starting at the Dare Valley Country Park visitor centre, 10 ramblers including guest Rob, followed a sealed tramway towards Aberdare Library, before cutting through Aberdare Park and down to the Cynon to begin a gentle climb to the Abernant Tramway.
