Bright sunshine and a stiff breeze greeted the 13 valiant Merthyr Valley Ramblers as we started off on our 9 mile walk from the Pont Cwmyfedwen car park.
Today, despite the poor weather, the Mortimer ramblers group welcomed Merthyr Valley Ramblers and Ross on Wye members onto their walk from Kington. We first headed northeast through Barton then at Rushock farm, turned west through Pawpits farm, picked up the Mortimer trail
The glorious weather continued for 13 Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including welcome guests Barbara, Barbara and Chris) as we started off from Cwmdu. Heading north, we climbed steadily to Blaen-y-uchaf and had our first cuppa.
Glorious weather for the 14 Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including welcome guests Helen and Amie) at Llanfoist on Alistair’s 7.5 mile memorial walk today. A simple walk, along the trackbed to Gilwern station then across the A470 to the canal then back to Llanfoist along the towpath.
On Saturday, 6 ramblers gathered on Manmoel Road, above Mountain Air Gate, for our 7-mile Y Domen Fawr circular. The day began a little chilly and grey, and with the forecast looking less than promising, waterproofs were kept close to hand. Thankfully, apart from a few short showers, the weather was kinder than expected.
Although 13 is considered an unlucky number, today proved to be the exception. 13 excited Merthyr Valley Ramblers (including good friends Trevor and Lynne) met at Ogmore in glorious sunshine at the start of our 7.5 mile stroll.
