South Wales – Walks With Olly

Fan Fawr and Fan Frynych

Sunday 19th February 2023

Several months have passed since I last wrote on this blog and that was never my intention. Between working full-time and stepping in to the world of self-employment, I’ve not allowed myself as much time as before, for blogging and even getting out on regular walks.

Returning to February for the timing of this walk, this will be my first instalment of returning to my writing – one month before I would spend a week away in North Wales.

Twmbarlwm Trek (Part 2)

Sunday 13th November 2022

Having enjoyed a cup of tea and some solitude beneath the mound of Twmbarlwm, my walk would continue with a steep descent towards Cwm Carn. People had passed me, heading up and down the hill, as I sat and enjoyed my deserved respite.

Twmbarlwm Trek (Part 1)

Sunday 13th November 2022

At the time of this walk, Brunel Walking Group was away up in the Peak District. I’d passed on the opportunity to go away with them and didn’t want to waste what free time I had to myself. So, I crossed the border in to South Wales and set off on another walk that was new to me; destined for the summit of Twmbarlwm.

Portskewett, South Wales

A walk from the Walk West series of e-books and one that would take place seven days ahead of my first trip north to the Lake District.
