Autumnal Wilderness Wander, 26 miles, Saturday 16th October 2021, Details
Autumnal Wilderness Wander, 26 miles, Saturday 16th October 2021
Meet/Start time : 08:00. At: A4067 near Cray Reservoir (exact location will be provided to booked walkers)
Description: A walk over the bleak wilderness terrain north of Mynydd Du, circling loosely around the Cray and Usk reservoirs. Spectacular views of the massif and surrounding countryside possible.
Notes: The first 10-12 miles are over rough and sometimes boggy terrain, with faint and sometimes non-existent paths. Walking poles will be helpful for this tough walking. Second half much easier. Bring a headtorch in case. Not great in poor weather, so I will have a back-up walk available too (nearby).
