Melincourt (Upper Neath Valley) - REVISED WALK from Original Programme

Sun 9th May

The walk on Sunday 9th May has been revised since the ongoing problem with paths through someone’s garden hasn’t been resolved. But the new walk still goes through someone’s garden so you won’t miss that experience! The walk starts from the car park near Melincourt Falls and takes in forests, farmland and open moor with a close-up view of some wind turbines. The walk is moderate which means that you need to wear good boots and be prepared for a couple of steep uphills – but it is well within the capabilities of the vast majority of the group. It’s just less than 8 miles long with ascent of about 600 metres. There will be lots of lambs on much of the route so dogs must be under close control.

Meet at 9.30 at Swansea Council Offices car park or 10:00 at Melincourt Falls car park (SN 821 020) on the B4434. Please let me know if you are going there directly. Further details from Robert (07981 963 681)

Cheers,

Robert (Bob)
