Resolven walk Saturday 22nd July 2006 - and other info

I've got some info for the walk this Saturday that you may find useful:-
Meeting
9.30 at County Hall Car Park

Start Point of the walk
Car Park at Melin Court waterfalls

Description
The walk is adaption of a favourite walk of mine, we will walk some of St Illtyd's walk, Coed Morganwg way, visit some windmills, find a long lost trig point. The walk is about 12 miles, but firmly in the moderate category, though it is an upland walk, the slopes are moderate, but they are longish in the first part of the walk. You should get some good views of the Beacons, Swansea Bay and Gower.

Points to beware
Unfortunaley, we are sharing Rheola forest with a rally on Saturday, so please be careful in the later forest section. Also some of the later paths are in need of a good walking, they are passible enough, but it will slow our progress a little.

Dogs?
As usual on my walks, dogs are more than welcome, but on this walk, I will insist that you keep your dog under control at all times. Not just because of livestock, but there were significant nature sightings, so we must respect their habitat.

In general
This is a joint walk with the Swansea Outdoor group who are meeting us at the start point in Melincourt car park, Its a great walk, hope you can make it!
