2021 - The year ahead with Bryn Walking

14/1/2021

The hills and mountains are calling all the time and it's so difficult to sit at home when we feel the force that pulls us up to those peaks.
I've been doing a bit of planning, poring over maps and getting some exciting walks, events and breaks in the diary, so that when we are allowed and you feel like booking, you might consider what Bryn Walking has on offer.

A 4 night Walking Break at Wigwam Holidays Hafren 7th June - 11th June
An opportunity to explore a beautiful area of the Cambrian Mountains. Climb to the highest peak Pen Pumlumon Fawr (752m) of the Cambrian Mountains, the source of The River Severn (different route to last time), walk parts of Glyndwr's way, and take in the beauty of Glaslyn Nature Reserve and the great escarpments down into the valley, plus Bryn y Fan (486m) as an option on day of departure with fantastic views of Llyn Clywedog and surrounding mountains.
The accommodation at Wigwam Holidays Hafren is perfect for a walking base, cozy warm, everything you need and even some with a hot tub.

A 4 night Walking Break at Goronwy Cottage, Barmouth
4th Oct - 8th Oct
Discover the ancient lands of Rhinogydd, dating back through centuries - we see ancient tombs, hill forts, stone circles, drover routes, not to mention the breath taking beauty of the landscape. We will also climb to the summit of Diffwyn (750m) and walk the southern part of the Rhinog Ridge back to Barmouth. The accommodation is luxurious with every comfort you need after a walk on the hills and mountains.

Rhinog Fawr and Rhinog Fach - A 2 day trek - 1 night wild camp, 2 nights at campsite.
Date: TBA

1 night in the wilds with a night camping either side at Nantcol campsite.

This event is for experienced walkers who have done backpacking before.

Rhinog Fawr (720m) Rhinog Fach (712m).

An introduction to wild camping, Pumlumon area, date TBA
This will be an exciting opportunity if you've never camped out away from civilization or if you just fancy another chance to get out and have 24hours of fresh air.

NNAS Bronze and Silver Navigator Awards
These awards will be ran through out the year so look out for dates on my Facebook page.
Bronze is all about reading and interpreting maps, relating features to the landscape and vice versa, following marked public rights of way and being able to plan your own route.
Silver is about learning to explore the landscapes off path on open access land, finding features using your compass and in poor visibility.

Free Introduction to Navigation
This 1 day course introduces you to how to read a map so that you know where you are at all times, methods of observation and some compass work. It gives you a taste of both my bronze and silver courses.

Guided Walks
I will be running guided walks in The Brecon Beacons and Mid Wales as soon as I can.
Guided walks for Bryn Walking for Women will usually be on the first Tuesday in every month.

If you are interested in any of these events please express your interest and to receive further information, when it is available, by using my contact form.
