Kilvey Hill & Carreg yr Ogof, or the Black Mountain that Wasn't

Friday 01/05/2015 & Sunday 03/05/2015

Swansea Bay from Kilvey Hill by Dylan

This Friday evening the 01/05/2015 Dylan led a group of the TT's up Kilvey Hill for some great views of the bay and city. Afterwards everyone enjoyed a great chat over a pint in the Ship Inn. Dylan has agreed to do this walk again later in the summer so keep an eye on the programme. Andrew has kindly updated the programme now and the next few months walks can be seen here: http://www.tawetrekkers.org.uk/progpage.html

On the following Sunday Mr Paul Bomber Harris lead us through the fog in the Brecon Beacons. It's wasn't the greatest day for seeing the national park in all its glory but it was still a great day nevertheless. The following video, recorded by Dylan, gives a good idea of the sort of conditions that we had to contend with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KAvhmUWTHM

Next Sunday we'll hopefully have better weather for Mark's walk in Afan Forest Park. This walk is mostly easy to moderate after an initial, steep climb and is only listed as strenuous because of the length. We will follow a variety of forest tracks and take in a wind farm, ruined farm houses and a path paved with fossils. There will also be fantastic views over the Afan valley.

Meet point: 9-30am. Harvester car park, Llandarcy (M4, J43). Start point: 10-00am. Rhyslyn car park, Pontrhydyfen (entrance is by the Dan y Bont aqueduct). Contact - Mark 07532 091 621
