Mike led us on a short walk north from Gwrhyd Chapel until we reached the heights above the old open-cast workings between Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen and Cwmllynfell. The area has now been landscaped but a large lake remains where the water has flooded the workings.
Visibility today was very good so we could see all the surrounding hills and mountains. Pen y Fan remained in cloud until the afternoon when it finally emerged.
There were 18 of us on a 3-mile walk to explore this area. Everyone enjoyed the walk which lasted about two hours.
Swansea Ramblers offer a range of walks for most abilities.
Try an easy walk of 2-3 hours or our longer strenuous mountain walks for the experienced walker.
Maybe you'd like to explore walking for the first time with a friendly group of people?
