I’ve just spent the past few days in Pembrokeshire, towards the south-west of Wales. Last weekend, I crossed the Severn Bridge to attend a walk leader and navigation course in the Brecon Beacons.
This is something that Brunel Walking Group organise at this time every year (I was supposed to go in 2013 or 2014 but cancelled) and the course is led by Andy Cummings of Manzoku; an experienced mountain leader, hill walker and climber.
As I reached Pen Trumau, close to the halfway point in this walk, I’d achieved a height of around 700m above sea level.
Waun Fach, the highest point in the Black Mountains range, could be reached by climbing only another 100m or so.
Part 1 of 2, in a 17 mile circuit of the Black Mountains in Wales.
I’ve just spent a weekend in South Wales and I’ll be heading further west for the coming weekend.
Now, I’d like to head back to August and recount a walk I did in the Black Mountains.
A circular walk from Combwich in Somerset that heads out to Hinkley Point before walking back along the coastal path.
This was one of those occasions where I was looking to do a walk but not entirely certain of where to go and also reluctant to travel too far from home.
I decided upon a fifty-minute drive south to Combwich near Bridgwater. From there, I could revisit a section of coastal walking that I first completed with Anna in 2016. Then, there would be the eyesore.
