Tawe Trekkers Newsletter - 30th October 2012

Crossing the Croeserw -  Blaengarw, Croeserw and Maesteg

 

 

This weekend's walk sees Graham again taking us off the beaten track. Starting near Garth we climb Foel Gwilym Hywel before descending steeply to Blaengarw at the upper end of  the Garw Valley. Climbing out of the head of the valley we circle back to ascend the summit of Mynydd Caerau before returning to Garth along disused railway lines and colliery tracks. There will be pleasant woodland tracks en route with expansive views from the hilltops. We'll also pass a small, improvised war memorial intriguingly position by the path. There are one or two steepish climbs and one quite steep, potentially slippery descent. Boots with good grip are essential.

Difficulty - Moderate

Distance - 9 miles

Meeting point - At County hall at 9.00 a.m (please note earlier start time) or at start point. Contact Graham on 07770435341
