Felled Forest crossed
14. september 2017, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Thursday: Forest being felled on South west side of Mynydd Machen. Foresters had put up signs to say path across Forest was closed. No diversion route was posted. Map indicated two alternative paths further east. I walked along a very wet track, at places 3" deep in water, to the thresholds of each of them. I found both impenetrable because of Brambles and high Ferns so returned to the original track through the felled Forest as the only practical route. This part if the Cambrian Way is on the Rhymney Valley trail. The stile in the photograph marks the exit from the felled forest section. Going was hard through the felled section. Having to climb over felled trees and branches for 500m took a disproportionate amount of time.Les mer

Crosskeys end of 3rd day
14. september 2017, Wales ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Thursday: 3.2 miles / 1325 feet of ascent from Machen to Crosskeys completed at end of third day of walking. Perfect weather with glorious warm sunshine all day and no wind until I got to the top of Mynydd Machen where a keen wind and setting sun made it feel cold. Warm again descending into Ebbw valley once sheltered from breeze despite it being dark. Petzl Tikka 85gm head torch was splendid at allowing me to see clearly in the dark in Coed Waun-fawr Woods even on its lowest power setting of 20 lumens.

There was nowhere obvious to camp and I was not far from home so rang Helen who kindly collected me and drove me home.Les mer

Monday: 8 miles / 1500 feet of ascent from Risca to Cwmcarn Forest completed at end of fourth day of walking. Weather warm mixture of sunshine and overcast with 15 minute heavy rain shower midday. Pitched my first camped at Cwmcarn Forest Drive. Walked down into Cwmcarn village for pint in The Cwmcarn Hotel. Bought Fish and Chips from local chippy which they were happy for me to eat in pub. Friendly atmosphere in pub which also does rooms aimed at Mountain bikers using the Cwmcarn Drive off road forest trails.Les mer

Cwmcarn camp in the morning
19. september 2017, Wales ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Tuesday: My new Terra Nova Wild Country Zephyros 1 tent, Marmot Trestles Elite 30F sleeping bag, Therm-a-rest NeoAir inflatable sleeping mat and ExpedAir UL M pillow all worked splendidly overnight. I was dry, warm and comfortable and had an excellent night's sleep. Woke to a sunny morning.

Cwmcarn has smart modern visitor centre with restaurant serving full breakfast choices. Campsite has plesant warm toilet block with coded lock access. It includes kitchen with sinks, fridge, 2 ring hob, microwave, 2 washing machines, ironing board and iron. Pitches are half grass half gravel. The gravel is an all weather surface which does not get muddy so is suitable for pitching on when wet. I found it hard to drive in pegs but Mandy in visitor Centre assured me they will go in if driven hard enough.Les mer
