28 Oct 23 - A Stroll to the Foel
Today, 11 hardy Merthyr Valley Ramblers convened at the car park in Hirwaun for this morning’s group walk. The original plan was to “Stroll to the Foel” but this week’s weather and how things were looking meant a change of plan for first time leader Jenny. 🙌
21 Oct 23 - Heolgerrig AGM 2023 walk
It was nippy and damp for the ten hardy ramblers on our 4.5 mile pre-AGM walk today. We started from the Red Lion (cracking pub btw) on the road towards Winch Fawr then turned off up and along the footpath to the road at the top of Heolgerrig. We continued up the road to the gate leading to the radio mast and the trig point.
14 Oct 23 - Coast, Country, and Lighthouse Walk
Twelve hardy ramblers (including welcome guests Soha and Kerry) braved the bright sunshine and gusty wind on our walk from Monknash today. From the carpark, we made our way down the Nash brook past the derelict corn-mill and almost to the beach.
