Sun 14 November 2010.....Gwaun Nant Ddu @ 600m(1,968ft)

Looking from the Forest out to Burnt Mound
Brecon Beacons in Wales.....

We parked in the A470 layby opposite the Cantref Reservior and headed up the north-west face of Gwaun Nant Ddu to a height of 600m (1,968ft) and decened into the vally directly below; then crossing the Nant Crew river climbed the opposite south-eastern face of the Burnt Mound to 475m (1,558ft); and then joined and follow the path south-west through the forestry back down to the A470. An approximate 3mile hike.

This proved to be an excellent hike, in an area totally free of "tourists". The kids thoroughly enjoyed this excursion, especially where we had to lay some stepping-stones to cross the river. Even though it was overcast, the weather was mild and conditions fantastic.
