Bright sunshine and blue skies greeted eighteen lucky Merthyr Valley Ramblers which started their 5 1/2 mile walk from Pontsticill dam today.

20 December 25 - A Ramble between Hirwaun and Penderyn.

13 December 25 - Christmas walk through Talybont.
The sun was shining brightly on the 12 Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including welcome guest Karen) at Talybont community centre car park today. We first headed north along the canal to the almshouses bridge where we went across the sodden fields and road to Pwll-y-hwyaid where we had our first cuppa.
6 December 25 - Dinas Rock / Foel circular.
Coldish drizzle greeted the 8 hardy Merthyr Valley Ramblers at Dinas rock today. Walk-leader Jenny wisely decided to avoid walking up to the Foel and instead we walked alongside the Sychryd up to the waterfall and back to Pontneddfrechan where we started the climb up the waterfall river.

Bright sunshine greeted the twelve lucky Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including old friends Heidi, Ugo and Peter) in Mountain Ash railway carpark today. The walk comprised of a circular walk around Cefn Pennar and what a walk! Dixon the puddle-loving dog (see video on facebook) was especially pleased.
