Change of Walk - Sunday 5th April - Felindre


Emyr's changed his planned walk on the 5th from Caerfanell to Felindre. On consideration Emyr thought that it was too far for people to drive all the way up there so he's now going to be leading a more local walk. The walk will start from the carpark by Felindre Reservoir and follow a route around the surrounding hills and countryside. Here's the details:

Distance: 5 miles

Difficulty: Easy

Meeting: 0930 at County Hall or 1000 at the carpark by Felindre reservoir.

Contact: Emyr on 07846879210 for more details or directions.

Alternative to Walk: Mountain Biking at Afan Forest - Sunday 5th April

Let the pedals take the strain for a change as we take on the Rheilffordd track in the Afan Forest. The route is between 10-14 miles long and consists of maily gravel tracks with only a couple of modest gradients (call it mountain biking lite!). You can hire bikes from Skyline cycles at the Afan Forest Centre for £15 for half a day's hire.

If you would like to go please text Christian on 07791089942 by Thursday and also indicate if you need to hire a bike.

We will meet at County Hall at 12.30 or at 1.00pm at Afan Forest visitors' car park.

This is different to the scheduled Brechfa Forest mountain biking excursion as you cannot hire bikes there!

Cheers.

Christian
