The new webinar series is shaping up, with the first two speakers lined up for 29 October and 17 November respectively. You can book for Jenni Hughes-Ellis’ session on the work of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust here. We’ll set up the booking page for the next one as soon as that has passed. Other […]
Our next outing, and the absolute last for this season, is a varied eight-mile (13km) circular walk on moorland tracks and lanes with two short, steep and rocky descents. The walk has good views over Elan’s Uplands and reservoirs – provided that the weather allows. The walk starts with a steep ascent to Crugyn trig […]
Our next outing, and the last for this season, is NOW (following the postponement due to bad weather) on Saturday 26 September. The Hafod Estate, nestled in Cwmystwyth is one of the gems of the Cambrian Mountains. Created by Thomas Johnes during the 18th Century it is one of Europe’s finest examples of the Picturesque […]
As impossibly warm weather lingers over the British Isles for July, even the Cambrians are experiencing temperatures over 30°C and the shady woods are exceedingly tempting. Our August walk, on Saturday 8 August, will be an estimated 6-mile circular on the edge of the Cambrian Mountains, below Drygarn Fawr. We’ll start at 10.30 am from […]
For once, fine weather accompanied Aberystwyth Show (which has never been kind to us before) so our stall was able to spread out and take the space we needed to make our breadth of interests and campaigns stick. Lil Tudor-Craig’s wonderful banners illustrating the beauty and biodiversity of the Cambrians made an excellent backdrop to […]
On Sunday 14th June, Richard Tyler will be leading the next members’ walk. We’re starting at 10.30am from beside St. Gwrthwl’s Parish Church in the centre of Llanwrthwl village, which revels in the wonderful What3words address of providing.eagles.pausing. Parking is along the right-hand side of the road leading into the village, after turning off the […]
The Signage Project has finally reached the real world! The first of our new signs is now installed at the George Borrow Hotel in Ponterwyd, to welcome passers-by to the Cambrian Mountains. We have to say we think it looks really good: not too obtrusive (who loves “road furniture”?) but colourful, evocative and – most […]
WE’RE HAVING TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO OUR PROPOSED WALK DUE TO THE FIRE DAMAGE FROM THE RECENT BLAZE, which extends all the way from north of Claerwen across to Rhayader mountain road, reaching as far as Llyn Fyrddon Fawr & Fach. The revised route will be only 8.5 miles, calling it a day […]
After the stunningly dry and sometimes sunny March walk, we’re sticking with the Elenydd for April’s walk on Sunday 19th. The plan is to take a seven mile scenic circular walk on paths and tracks around Caban Coch Reservoir with great views. Though anyone remembering the Percy Bysshe Shelley connection (a reminder, in the […]
Our last webinar of the series was intended to take place in March 2026 – but we wanted something on a farming theme and, having persuaded Hywel Morgan to give us the webinar, were politely but firmly told that March is no time for giving a webinar, there’s far too much going on. So, […]
