This walk is in the past.

Take a walk on the wild side (of the A470) and avoid the crowds.

We will start with a sharp climb up onto Craig Cerrig-Gleisiad before continuing the ascent of Fan Frynich. We will then drop down to a Roman Road, which undulates for some distance before we join the Beacons Way for the ascent of Fan Llia and Fan Dringarth and the descent to the Storey Arms. We then return to the start via the Taff Trail. There is about 3,200 feet of ascent. There is no pub.

How do I join the walk?

Unless stated on the walk page, there is no need to sign up to join a walk. You’re very welcome to try out 1 or 2 walks before you join, but we do insist that after that you join the Brunel Walking Group.

On many walks you can just turn up at the meeting point where we will share lifts to the start of the walk. It’s OK if you don’t drive – we normally have enough drivers who are able to give lifts. Some walks you will need to make your way to walk start or you can post on our facebook group to ask if you can share a lift there.

Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot.  Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
