  • GUIDED WALKS and EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May)
    GUIDED WALKS & EVENTS SPRING 2019 Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS SPRING 2019 (March-May) Most of these walks go into the hills. Participants are reminded that the following gear must be taken. Walking boots, rucksack, hats, gloves, warm clothing (not jeans), spare fleece, water and a hot drink, lunch, extra food and of course waterproof jackets and trousers. A whistle and a head torch (with spare batteries) should be carried, particularly during the winter months, and a hi- visibility garment would be very useful in case of poor visibility. Participants must satisfy themselves that the walk is suitable for their abilities. You can take advice by ringing the walk leader whose telephone number is given. No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs because of taking part. An adult must accompany young people (under 18). MOST OF THESE WALKS ARE FOR EXPERIENCED WALKERS - IF YOU’RE NOT SURE OF YOUR ABILITY WHY NOT START OFF WITH A MODERATE WALK TO FIND OUT? Please check the guided walks programme on the website for planned cancellations and changes to walks. Leaders may change or cancel the advertised route at their discretion due to adverse weather conditions or other problems on the day. You are strongly advised to check the Mountain weather forecast for the Brecon Beacons National Park before setting out for walks, on the Met Office website: www.metoffice.gov.uk. Finish times are approximate. Strenuous walks require fitness and stamina to cope with several steep climbs and/or cover a good distance at a steady pace.

Down, BT18 22 0EU, Northern Ireland. 23 24 25 Abstract 26 27 The British Isles have been affected by as many as 30 glaciations during the Quaternary. 28 29 However, the evidence for pre-Devensian glaciations in upland regions is scarce. 30 31 Understanding the extent and timing of earlier upland glaciations is essential for modelling 32 the long term evolution and sensitivity of the British Ice Sheet (BIS). Caves, being protected 33 34 from surface erosion and weathering, can preserve evidence of earlier glaciations in the form 35 36 of speleothem and sediment archives. The ~70 km long Ogof Draenen cave system in South 37 Wales, UK, contains multiple cave levels related to changes in the surface topography and 38 39 drainage during the past 0.5 Ma.

  • The Blorenge Niche
    THE BLORENGE NICHE The Blorenge keeper’s Pond Foxhunter Car Park P Start point: Foxhunter Car Park, off B4246 Blaenavon - Govilon (NP7 9RY) Duration: 1.55 hours Difficulty: Gentle (rocky in places), 3 miles Peak height: 561m It’s suggested the name of The Blorenge may derive from the Welsh ‘plor’ (‘pimple’ and relate to the Middle English word ‘blure’ (‘blister.’) The mountain is a dominating presence acting as the border between the south Wales valleys to the south and the Black Mountains to the north. The walk is accessible to people of even modest levels of firtness, with only minor elevation changes. It does though offer incredible views of the Skirrid and Sugarloaf, with Abergaveny sandwiched in between. Set off from the Foxhunter car park, heading north east down a gradual valley. Before long, you head up hill towards the prow of the Blorenge - and what a view it is! On a good day, it’s the perfect place to stop off for lunch, before heading towards the cairn and summit - the flatter part of the route. For those who may be finding the going difficult, there is a more direct route from the car park across the ridge to our lunch spot. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can always choose to incorporate the main ascent of the Blorenge, which admittedly is quite the challenge, but more than worth it for the reward. To do this, head to Llanfoist, which sits in the shadow of the mountain – there’s plenty of small car parks and street parking. Head to St Faith’s Church and climb the lane to the Punchbowl lake.
