Penderyn to Hirwaun
A lovely out and back flatish walk of around 4 miles from the Glancynon Inn pub to Penderyn and back, the weather wasn't the best despite a good forecast. It absolutely hammered down on the way there and the start was delayed slightly. The rain eased off and the walk was worth the wait. |

16 February 2016 - HENRHYD
|
After several months of rain the conditions of the path to the Henrhyd waterfall was deemed too dangerous for the group so the group took a 3 mile stroll down the road to Cefngwaunhynog Farm before cutting back on the Sarn Helen Roman Road. |

4th April 2015 - Pat Davies birthday walk - St Illtyd's Walk, Resolven - 11 miles
|
It was 'happy birthday' to Pat Davies and a walk with Cerdded-y-Cwm Walking Club, family and friends to celebrate the event.
From left to right Pat Davies, Brian Morgan (walk leader) Rhian, Ruth Morgan, Alison MacKay, John, Jo-Anne Beale (behind John), Ralph Holland and me behind the camera. Starting at Resolven the walk followed the St Illtyd's Walk to Bryn Llydan before dropping back down into Resolven. According to the information sign adjacent to Illtyd's Walk "The mountain ridge track ways connected up hut settlements which, in all probability, were in sight of burial cairns. Sir Cyril Fox (Archaeologist 1882-1967) has even suggested that area around Craig-y-Llyn was the Picadilly Circus of prehistoric Wales, with branches leading from it to Gelli Gaer, Brecon, Merthyr, Margam and Neath. One point in particular was of interest to Pat, the mine at Blaen-Cwm where his grandfather worked so I whipped out the phone to take a quick video. ... ...
New energy & old energy. The wind turbines above Resolven tower over the old mine workings of Blaen-Cwm and in the distance the St Illtyd's Walk makes it's way through the south Wales valleys The nice weather held and it was back to Resolven canal car park for the finish.
