Starting from the Elan Valley, we’ll head up a track above the Claerwen reservoir and across the occasionally boggy, usually tussocky top to the little-visited natural lake, Llyn Carw (Deer Lake). After pausing to look for Spring Quillwort and Shoreweed, neither of which is known […]
The next members’ walk will be on Sunday 16 July, up to Stallions’ Crag on Pumlumon Fawr. If this sounds familiar it is because we had intended to do it in April but for family and then weather reasons it had to be postponed. For full details, see the original post here. And as usual, […]

The clocks are going back on 30 October so the days are getting significantly shorter, but we still have time to fit in one last Members’ walk for 2022. On 6 November we’ll be taking a circuit from Soar-y-Mynydd over the pass into the Doethie valley and along up to the track by Ty’n Cornel […]
On Sunday 16th October we’ll be taking a circuit across the upland areas on the rim of the Rheidol Valley, passing mine ruins at Cwmbrwyno and ascending Bwa drain hillfort (300m) for an impressive vista of the meandering Afon Rheidol as it snakes through Cwmrheidol below. The autumn colours are already starting to show through, […]
