Cymdeithas Parc Bannau Brycheiniog Brecon Beacons Park Society www.breconbeaconsparksociety.org GUIDED WALKS AND EVENTS WINTER 2017/18 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. EnerGetic walks generally involve two steep climbs but they will still require determined application. Moderate walks will seldom have steep climbs but if they do the climb will be taken at a relaxed pace. Dogs (well controlled) are permitted unless stated otherwise in the programme. It should be noted that under the CROW Act, when taking dogs onto Open Access land they must be on a fixed lead, no more than two metres long, whenever livestock are near, and at ALL TIMES from 1st March to 31st July. Non-members of the Park Society will be asked to make a donation of £5.00 each per walk. Half price for the under 16’s, the unemployed and students.

Pen y Fan sits in a cluster of other peaks including Corn Du, Cribyn and Fan y Big, so most of them can be climbed in a single walk. These are the main 'Beacons' in the Brecon Beacons. In this guide I'll refer to them as “Pen y Fan et al”.

  • Additional Information to Support an Environmental Impact Assessment

    Additional Information to Support an Environmental Impact Assessment

    Additional Information to Support An Environmental Impact Assessment Enviroparks (Hirwaun) Ltd Hirwaun Industrial Estate Aberdare Report Issue No: 1 Report Date: May 2009 Report Author: Amanda Owen Enviroparks (Hirwaun) Ltd; EIA Additional Information SUMMARY This report has been prepared as a result of two objections received during the planning consultation for a proposed development of an Enviroparks site at Hirwaun in Aberdare, South Wales. The two objections each requested that additional information be provided on the potential impacts of the proposed site on sensitive ecological receptors in the vicinity. The report has been produced in consultation with each of the two bodies raising objections, and with the two relevant local planning authorities, in order that suitable and sufficient information be provided for consideration with the original Environmental Statement submitted with the planning application. Additionally, a screening stage Appropriate Assessment has been produced. This report seeks to: • Detail the potential impact of aerial emissions on sensitive sites up to 10 km away from the proposed development; • Provide information on and assess the potential impact of Nitrogen and acid deposition on sensitive ecological receptors; • Identify the impact of hydrological changes and any potential for land or water contamination, with specific consideration to the Cors Bryn-y-Gaer Site of Special Scientific Interest; In summary, the report concludes that: • The predicted environmental concentration of aerial emissions from the proposed development, which considers the background air quality concentration as well as the process contribution to air quality, are not considered to be of significant concern, either to human health or to vegetation , although not all substances can be screened as insignificant by definition.
  • The Little Neath River Cave, South Wales

    The Little Neath River Cave, South Wales

    186 THE LITTLE NEATH RIVER CAVE, SOUTH WALES The Little Neath River Cave, South Wales By M. G. NORTON, RSa., D. SAVAGE, RSc. and P. A. STANDING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The society is very grateful to Mr. Tom Lewis of Blaen Nedd Isaf Farm for his friendly co-operation with us in all our activities on his land and in the cave beneath it. Without his co-operation the exploration and surveying recorded in this paper could not have been done. INTRODUCTION This paper covers the work done by the society in the Little Neath River Cave (LNRC) up to May 1967. Most of the cave description has been written by MGN, whilst the geological detail, the survey notes and the drawing up of the survey has been the work of DS. The sections on history, underground drainage of the valley and bibliography have been contributed by PAS. All three authors, however, accept responsibility for the article as a whole. The decision having been taken in 1966 that all new work by the society should be recorded in the metric system, soon to be compulsory, all measurements in the following account are in metric terms. LOCATION The Nedd Fechan or Little Neath River lies in Brecknockshire to the east of the Tawe or Swansea valley and to the west of the Afon Mellte. A certain amount of controversy exists over the naming of the Nedd Fechan and readers interested in reviewing the evidence should consult F. J. North's excellent book "The River Scenery at the Head of the Vale of Neath".

  • Cycle Across the Beacons

    Cycle Across the Beacons

    This free routebook was created at cycle.travel - the best way to plan an awesome bike route. Cycle across the Beacons Map data © OpenStreetMap.org contributors (Open Database Licence). Cartography © cycle.travel, all rights reserved. You may copy this PDF for your friends, but commercial redistribution is prohibited. Thanks! Cycle across the Beacons This really is a ride of two halves. From Abergavenny to Brecon, it’s a gentle towpath amble along the lovely Monmouthshire & Brecon. After Brecon… let’s just say it’s a bit less gentle. You wouldn’t expect a route called “Cycle across the Beacons” to be flat, and it isn’t. Indeed, although Sustrans worked with the Brecon Beacons National Park to set it up, the hilly section isn’t numbered as part of the National Cycle Network – they considered it too tough for that. But if your legs are up to it, this is a magnificent 55-mile ride through the southern Welsh hills: the quietest roads, the sleepiest villages, the greatest views. What bike do you need? The hilly section west of Brecon really asks for a road bike, a cross bike or perhaps a hybrid. A mountain bike will be too heavy to haul up those gradients. These are often single-lane roads with a grassy centre and a smattering of gravel, so don’t turn up with skinny tyres expecting pristine tarmac. Especially when you see the canal towpath after Abergavenny: some of it has been widened and smoothed out, but much of it is still essentially unimproved singletrack. Fortunately, there’s a tolerable road running parallel (the A4077/B4558), which roadies may prefer.

    Talybont-On-Usk.Pdf

    FINAL PROPOSALS Community No. B29 - TALYBONT-ON-USK Introduction 1. The north-east part of present community of Talybont-on-Usk lies in the valley of the river Usk where the main settlements in the community - the 2nd tier settlements of Pencelli and Talybont and the unclassified settlements of Scethrog and Llansantffraed - are located. To the north, the valley rises steeply to Allt yr Esgair, which provides a natural boundary between this community and the community of Llangors. In the south, the landscape of this community is defined by the more undulating moorland and heavily forested extents of the eastern Brecon Beacons. It is the high points of this area, at Bryn, Craig Pwllfa, Craig y Fan, Craig y Fan-ddu, Yr Allt, Waun-rydd and Tor y foel, that bound the southern part of community. Here the valley of the river Caerfanell and the Talybont Reservoir provide the main focus for habitation, with the small, unclassified settlement of Aber to the north of the reservoir. In its extreme southwest, this community falls to the upper reaches of the river Taf Fechan, where the community boundary follows a centre line through Pontsticill Reservoir on the northern outskirts of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil. The 2nd tier settlement of Pontsticill is partitioned by the community-county boundary, with some ten electors living in the community of Talybont-on-Usk. This settlement is some nine miles by narrow, unclassified county road from Talybont; it is less than three miles from the centre of Merthyr Tydfil. 2. The whole of this community lies within the Brecon Beacons National Park.
