A mixture of current and some former members of the Club met at Nuala’s house near Bryncrug for a camping meet and barbeque. While most arrived on Friday night a number of members, particularly those with families, arrived at various times on Saturday. We experienced a variety of weather conditions with high winds and thunder and lightning on Friday. Fortunately all managed to get their tents up before the bad weather arrived. It was rather wet and miserable on Saturday morning so a mass ascent of Cadair Idris via the pony track was abandoned as was climbing on the Cyfrwy arête. However, I understand that a couple of hardy souls did complete the climb in the wet.

  • Explorers Connect Adventure Shared Hiking Fan Y Big & Lord Hereford's Knob 23-24 September We Want to Take You on a Very S
    www.explorersconnect.com Explorers Connect www.facebook.com/ExplorersConnect Adventure shared www.twitter.com/explorerstweet Hiking Fan Y Big & Lord Hereford’s Knob 23-24 September We want to take you on a very special hiking trip in Wales this autumn - join us as we take a ‘peak’ at Fan Y Big and mount Lord Hereford’s Knob in the Brecon Beacons National Park. We challenge you to keep a straight face all weekend as we explore two different (and unforgettable) parts of the Brecon Beacons National Park - after all, mountains aren’t funny, they’re hill areas… Jokes aside, we take safety very seriously and we’ll be accompanied by qualified walk leaders at all times. On saturday morning we’ll meet at the foot of the Black Mountains and spend most of the day winding up and across the mountain range to the top of Lord Hereford’s Knob at 690m, also known as Twmpa. The footpaths in this area provide excellent walking across high ridges and superb edges, from which we’ll get great views of Herefordshire and the Wye Valley to the east and see out across the rest of the Brecon Beacons to the west. Although these routes are popular in summer, by going at this time of year we’ll avoid the tourists and hopefully get the magnificent scenery all to ourselves! In the evening we’ll drop our day packs off at our cosy bunkhouse in the centre of the National Park and head to a great local pub across the road to replenish ourselves with a hot meal.
