A view of the Beacons from Brynamman by Michelle Coffey

Big thanks go out to Graham for leading us on one of his legendarily complex walks around Brynamman this Sunday, just on the edge of the Brecon Beacon National Park. We were met with some stunning views of the Beacons throughout and it was a great day all around. The walk was long at 14 miles with all the ups and downs became increasingky strenuous toward the end. We were grateful for the visit to the pub afterwards, though who ever heard of a pub that doesn't sell crisps? Random!

Next week Mr Paul Harris and his pack of hounds will be returning from a recent absence to lead on one of his famous walks to Nash Point. The walk is classed as a moderate one and will clock in at around 9 miles. If you have any questions please contact Paul on 07813 141101. 

There are just two weeks left before we embark on the South Wales 3-Peaks challenge. This will take in the 3 peaks of Blornge, Sugar loaf and Skirrid and will be an extremely strenuous walk of over 20 miles. If you would like to stay with us at the bunkhouse in Blaenavon please contact David Horton on  07414 590217. Please note that there are limited spaces left and you will need to pay the full £40 to Dave in order to secure your place. It is too late to register for the challenge now but you can still walk it with us. You'll just have to miss out on the bother of registering at the start. Boo hoo hoo.

Please note that the next Programme planning meeting will be on Thursday the 16th of April 2015 at 8pm, shortly after we conclude our Committee meeting. We will especially be looking for walk leaders willing to lead shorter Friday evening walks. Please get in touch if you're interested and let us know of what walks you would like to do and when. We understand that people can't always attend the meeting but if you want to lead a walk please just send the details to tawe@hotmail.co.uk and we will make sure they get added to the programme. Traditionally these would be a maximum of 4 miles (1.5 hours). However, I am interested in leading longer walks of up to 6 miles which would only be suitable for the fitter walker capable of walking at a good pace and might mean we have to bring head torches. I would be grateful for opinions of this. Please feel free to comment below if you have followed this link from facebook. Alternatively, you can send your comments to us at the email address above.

Diolch.
