Sut Mae Pawb,

Thanks to Robert for leading last Sundays walk.

Wind down your week this Friday as Trudi leads us on short walk around Penllergaer Woods which once formed part of John Dillwyn Llewelyn's Penllergare estate and surrounded his mansion house. The first photographs of the moon were taken at Dillwyn Llewelyn's observatory.  This evening's walk will show the work that is being done to restore these woods.  Contact Trudi - 07773 852 162.

This Sunday I lead us on a circuit of Pen-y-Fan taking in Corn Du, Fan-y-Big and the Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion plateau. A big walk taking in the major peaks of the central Beacons.  Contact Dave H on 07414 590 217.
