Event Date: Sun 16 September 2018
Event Time: 8.15
13.5 miles
Starting at the southern tip of the Black Mountain ridge, the first half of the walk will traverse the full length of the ridge, taking in Fan Hir, Fan Brycheiniog, Fan Foel, Picws Du and Bannau Sir Gaer. We then drop down to Llyn y Fan Fach before a short winding climb back up onto the ridge. We then head off the beaten path through some possibly boggy sections before finding the track home through a collection of shake holes. This walk has 1300m of climbing but only a few short steep sections. Expect the off track section to be boggy so suitable footwear is a must.
Meet 8.15am at the Water Tower, Clifton.
Alternative meet point: 10am at the Gwyn Arms, please contact the walk leader if meeting here. https://goo.gl/maps/dkLZ8WX1Dt82
Bring packed lunch, pub to finish.
Walk leader: Matt T ( (Phone number removed) )
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.
If sharing lifts passengers are expected to contribute towards petrol costs. Please bring coins or be prepared to make a bank transfer. As a guide, 30p/mile shared by everyone in the car.
How do I know what to bring? And am I fit enough?
We provide a full recommended kit list here. Please do bring water, a rainproof jacket, walking trousers (or similar) and walking shoes/boots – avoid jeans and trainers.
Walks are graded as either 1 boot, 2 boot or 3 boot. Read more about choosing the right walk for your fitness level here,
