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 […]
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 […]
The spring is on its way, and so the time for intrepid walkers to get out and celebrate the vast open spaces of the Cambrian Mountains must be approaching too. We’re kicking off with a walk led by Peter Foulkes around the ridge between the Elan reservoirs and Llangurig (hopefully avoiding any contact […]
With great regret, we have to cancel the last walk of the season. Judy is very sorry but she is not able to walk due to a problem with her hip. Red Liford is hoping to rearrange the walk for a later Sunday in October; we will send out another email to all, if […]
