South Wales – Walks With Olly

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.

Brockweir and St. Briavels

Sunday 6th March 2022

I’ve walked around the Wye Valley on only a few occasions. Each time, it had been under the leadership of another person and, more often than note, we’d explore Tintern and climb up to the Devil’s Pulpit.

This walk would avoid all of that, starting just north in Brockweir. Another route from the Walk West series of eBooks and one that was brand-new to me.
