Is the mantle of navigating being passed down, has the pupil become the master? Unlikely but much to my surprise and consternation "The Navigator" TOLD me that I had been nominated to come up with a walk local to me and LEAD it. This was all to do with the forecast giving rain about midday and a short walk needed.<br />
<br />
I was up to the task and decided on a walk from near my home,taking into account field paths, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxton%27s_Tower">Paxton Tower</a> and the <a href="http://www.gardenofwales.org.uk/">National Botanic Garden of Wales</a> (NBGW)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/e.php?d=20150330&u=129274">Route</a><br />
<br />
With rain being forecast at an early stage I cut the walk a little and we drove to the NBGW and commenced our walk from their car park.<br />
<br />
We headed into Llanarthne where fields of sheep were crossed and up a steepish path where a coffee break was had.<br />

From here we walked to Paxtons Tower, unfortunately now out of bounds because of falling masonry, but where excellent views of the Tywi valley could be seen.<br />

Today we were back and determined to be completists.<br />

<br />
Now that we knew the first part of the route we made good progress. A coffee break was had after a steep climb out of the valley at Gilfach Farm. Before long the high ground gave views down to Cynghordy and its well known viaduct.<br />

Once we reached the <a href="http://transportheritage.com/find-heritage-locations.html?sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=43&sobi2Id=510">viaduct</a> we were impressed on how the original builders completed this structure. A number of the huge pillars were wrapped in scaffolding where it appeared the pointing of the stones was being maintained, but there was no sign of any workers.<br />

Immediately below the viaduct lies Gosen Chapel which was built before the viaduct which now towers above the chapel.<br />

We stopped to chat to the farmer at Gilfach Farm who said he had seen us on the outward stretch. Collies are my favourite dogs and this farmer had at least three who only wanted to be stroked.<br />
<br />
If we have a criticism of this walk is that the last stretch is steeply uphill not something we would normally plan for!welshpaddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10385863790733204366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938997817860793786.post-70709396344321592262015-03-23T12:43:00.003-07:002015-03-23T12:43:51.963-07:00PwllcrochanThey are back and and there is no longer any danger of becoming lost.<br />

<br />
With the "Navigator" on his way back from Austria, Paul and I decided on another walk from the book of Alan Richards. This was one of his shorter walks and took Cynghordy as its centre.<br />
<br />

<br />
It started and finished well but the bit in the middle did not happen. As has been said on previous occasions, Mr Richards instructions are spot on and an OS map is almost unnecessary but today we were confused within about half an hour. Try as we might we could not find the way which led down to the valley bottom. We could see the farm we needed to get to but path there was none at least where we first looked.<br />

<br />
We followed one path and then retraced our steps not realising we had passed the required path twice!<br />
<br />
Following a coffee and much map pondering including some electronic gadgets we set off again and by sheer luck found the hidden path which led us to the valley bottom. We had by now lost so much time we headed back for the car knowing we would have to return another day.<br />

<br />
From the start the bridalway was signposted and again part way along our route but when we hit a bulldozed forestry track the signs disappeared and clearly two were needed and I think that Mr Richards instructions could have been clearer which is so unlike him.<br />
<br />

I knew the river side area well as we often canoe down the Afon Teifi either to egress at St Dogmaels or paddle past it. However I had not visited the town and its Abbey. Lo and behold this was to be our destination for our Monday walk.<br />

I could not persuade "The Navigator" to have a cake at the information <a href="http://www.stdogmaelsabbey.org.uk/">centre/cafe</a> and so we walked on and up the scenic Cwm Degwel and then by way of minor roads to the coast at Pwllygranant.<br />

It was on our descent to the coast we met a Belgium tourist walking up from the coast who had somehow missed the path on his route to Newport. We managed to ensure he walked back down to the coast path and continue his journey.<br />

The weather was blue sky but cold and on the coast extremely windy, thankfully at our backs. In places we estimated at some 100 feet the wind was blowing the sea up the cliffs and onto the path.<br />
<br />
Once we turned the corner at Cemaes head we were sheltered from the wind and headed back with views of the Teifi estuary.<br />

<br />
I have frequently referred to books by Alan Richards which describe some excellent walks in Carmarthenshire and today we chose a route from volume 2 based on Gelliwen.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://my.viewranger.com/track/details/MTQzMzExNQ==">Route</a><br />
<br />
As usual it was a varied walk with green lanes, minor roads and forestry trails giving good views.<br />

On our way back to Gelliwen we came across a local resident who said we were the first walkers she had seen for a considerable period She lived in a lodge which served the now ruined mansion of <a href="http://www.archiveswales.org.uk/anw/get_collection.php?coll_id=1608">Panthowell</a> Should we ever want to visit the ruins we could walk through her garden a friendly type.<br />

<br />
We drove through Talybont and up towards Torpantau. Already the mist was hiding the higher slopes and made it difficult to find the parking spot and so we parked just off the road.<br />

As we climbed the snow became thicker and once again we stopped to put on the Microspikes.<br />
<br />
A few years ago Andy and I backpacked in this area and we recognised our overnight camp site near the top of the climb.<br />
<br />
Today it was hard to see over the high cliffs which in places had small cornices forming.<br />

We met one runner who explained he had a meeting in Merthyr but was finding time for some fresh air. Perhaps his meeting was about time management!<br />
<br />
We walked along Graig Fan Las and then cut the corner and headed for Bwlch Y Ddwyallt and onto Craig Cwareli. Here the wind made the low temperature quite chilling. The mist gave occasional glimpses of Pen y Fan and Corn Ddu.<br />

<br />
From Pengenffordd we drove up a narrow lane thankfully ice free to our starting point.<br />
<br />
To try and slow Andy down we sent him up a small hill to view <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_Dinas">Castell Dinas</a> while we commenced the climb up the ridge, Y Grib.<br />

Part way up "The Navigator" and I put on our <a href="http://www.climbers-shop.com/246638/products/kahtoola-microspikes.aspx">Microspikes</a> which stayed on most of the day. The weather was perfect with little wind, blue sky and snow underfoot.<br />

Near the top of the ridge we came across what seemed to be an abandoned dirt bike but it was soon claimed by a farmer who sped off down hill with two collies.<br />
<br />
At the top of the ridge we turned left and headed towards Y Das where we stopped for lunch looking down a steep valley.<br />

It was a long way down to the valley but unfortunately back up again to the car.welshpaddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10385863790733204366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938997817860793786.post-22180530603378406702015-02-08T08:35:00.000-08:002015-02-14T08:37:57.108-08:00Chartist CaveA walk with a touch of history today. We were heading for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartist_Cave">Chartist Cave</a> on Mynydd Llangynidr.<br />

On leaving the car in Llangynidr we started the climb following Cwm Claister. Following a coffee break we soon hit the snow which in places saw us sinking up to our knees. Despite the snow we were shedding layers.<br />

The cave is not obvious when approaching from the north but there was a well trod path in the snow which led us to the entrance.<br />

As well as "The Navigator" we were joined by my brother-in-law, Andy who stayed until Wednesday evening.<br />
<br />
The forecast for the week was looking at least to be dry for most of the week, the best one can hope for at this time of the year, in fact we did very well.<br />
<br />
On our weeks away we try to have a walk on the day of travel and as we were all within about two to three hours away our first walk was a long half day.<br />
<br />

<br />
We met at the bridge over the Wye at Boughrood and walked upstream passing Hells Hole rapid a river feature I knew well from my canoeing days.<br />

At Trericket Mill we cut inland and commenced the climb which took us eventually to Mynydd Fforest.<br />

However as we are having a boys week next week in the Brecon Beacons I did not want to tire him out especially as he has had a recent bout of man flu.<br />
<br />
The weather was a perfect winter`s day with blue sky and frosty fields. In fact on the highest part of the walk we were enjoying the scrunch of snow underfoot. However where the sun had got to work we also had the gloop of mud.<br />
<br />
The walk was another fine route taken from the book of Alan Richards and again the directions are first class. The walk was centred on the village of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meidrim">Meidrim</a><br />

<br />
Unfortunately Mrs Navigator was unwell and sensibly stayed in bed. Today we had the company of Paul, my neighbour and cycling buddy and unlike The Navigator is partial to visiting cafes` for cake and coffee, but not today.<br />
<br />
The weather was dry and clear all day but with a keen wind especially on the coastal sections.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://www.ukhillwalking.com/logbook/e.php?d=20150126&u=129274">Route</a> (UK Hillwalking)<br />
<br />
There is a gap of recording on Viewranger from the summit of Dinas Island around the coast back to Pwll Gwaelod.<br />
<br />
We walked the coast path heading south for a while before cutting inland and then on the lower slopes above the main Newport to Fishguard road. Lunch was had along an old green road and then we descended back to the coast at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cwm-yr-Eglwys">Cwm yr Eglwys</a> and followed the coast path around Dinas Island back to the car.<br />

Further afield, especially to the big hills would mean travelling small lanes , probably not gritted and discretion won.<br />

Although Paul had walked the grounds of <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/dinefwr/">Dinefwr Park</a> the rest of the walk taking in <a href="http://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/visiting-woods/wood/4101/coed-tregib/">Tregib Woods</a> and the banks of the Afon Tywi and its footbridge would be new.<br />
<br />
We parked next to the towns fire station and walked down the main driveway of Dinefwr Park through Castle Woods Nature Reserve and onto the <a href="http://www.llandeilo.org/bge_history.php">Llandeilo Bridge</a>.<br />

From here we walked through Ffairfach and on to Tregib. Climbing uphill we eventually turned left and then turned into the Woodland Trusts wood. This led downhill to the 2005 planted woodland to celebrate the battle of <a href="https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/learn/estate/victory-wood/trafalgar-project/">Trafalgar</a><br />

With good time made we extended the planned walk and continued into the grounds of Dinefwr Park keeping the Afon Tywi on our left. We stopped for a short lunch and then continued across the fields and then cut back towards Newton House spotting a large herd of deer before heading back to the car.<br />

Andy and Fran were with us for a few days and the outdoors beckoned. The day before Andy and I went for a 25 mile bike ride along the Millennium Coast Path from Pembrey to Machynys and back. Today Fran wanted some fresh air and we headed to the Gower. As a guide I used the Cicerone book about walks in the Gower.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We started in Penmaen and down to Three Cliffs bay and then west following the coast path beneath the woods and then into Oxwich Nature Reserve. From there we turned north up to the ridge of Cefn Bryn and followed this east back to Penmaen.</div>

My wife and I were visiting our son and partner in Chester the town where my wife's sister also lives and whose husband,Andy is one of my outdoor buddies.<br />
<br />
A decision was taken to walk near Llangollen visting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castell_Dinas_Br%C3%A2n">Castell Dinas Bran</a> and then onto Creigiau Eglwyseg, the limestone ridge with the return down an "interesting" gulley and back partly along Offas Dyke path underneath the ridge.<br />

The weather was perfect, cold with extensive views with the hills on the opposite side of the Dee Valley covered in frost.welshpaddlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10385863790733204366noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938997817860793786.post-32698412660081963832014-12-05T06:57:00.001-08:002014-12-05T06:57:08.751-08:00KidwellyPaul suggested a walk based on the book by Alan Richards and chose the walk based on Kidwelly.<br />

The route then took us onto Mynyddygarreg with fine views all around to include the hill on the other side of the main road where we would be heading to.<br />

Continuing down we came across a small holding with what appeared a large area for growing vegetables contained in a walled area much like a drained swimming pool. The veg was growing in raised beds formed from numerous old tyres.<br />

Following lunch we crossed the main road and headed uphill to eventually descend again into Kidwelly. Throughout the walk we walked along a number of splendid green lanes, some like tunnels covered in the recent autumn leaves.<br />

The weather was a little dreary with little in the way of clear skies, which was a shame as these modest hills would give excellent views of the Preseli Hills, Carn Ingli and the coast down towards St Davids.<br />
<br />
With the car parked we walked south east through <a href="http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/wal/PEM/Morfil/index.html#ChurchHistory">Morvil</a> where an old church was being repaired, whether for private use or the church I do not know.<br />

We came across a distressed pregant ewe laying on her back. We tried to lift her back to her feet but I regret she could not stand. There did seem to be a problem with a back leg and why she was in this particular field when all her mates were in another seemed odd. Unfortunately there was no farmhouse in the vicinity and we had to leave her, sad.</div>

It was a lot warmer here than back home where for the first time this season I had to scrape ice from the windscreen.<br />
<br />
Once on the ridge top the views were fantastic. The plan was to visit Arthurs Stone but a lack of concentration found us walking to the second trig point away from the stone. A direct route to the stone was chosen following vague sheep trods, which led me directly into a bog and like last week well over my boots. Paul decided he would not follow and sensibly took a diversion.<br />
<br />
We did reach the stone where we had lunch and I emptied my boots. The wikipedia link above makes mention the stone was apparently thrown from Llanelli, clearly a former Scarlet player.<br />

Whilst in the Lake District and a visit to Cicerone, I acquired their guide book "Walking on Gower" and a plan was launched for a visit. Paul was also suffering from a lack of fresh air and so we drove to the Gower and parked up in Bracelet Bay.<br />

Fully kitted up and within yards of starting, Fortes cafe called to us and we sunk a nice coffee. The coastal walk through Langland and Caswell was along a tarmac path with good views of the coast. The sun was warm and we and others were soon walking in shirt sleeves. We stopped to pass the time of day with two chaps and although they are Osprey supporters, together we put the rugby world to rights.<br />

Following lunch we turned south where the guide book made mention of a boggy area leading to a field gate. Not so much boggy as flooded! With hindsight it may have been better to remove our socks as the depth of water was well over our boots. On reaching dry land we emptied our boots and squeezed excess water from our socks!<br />

At the George Inn the route went steeply uphill to the Mumbles Hill Nature Reserve but there were good views of Swansea Bay and over to Port Talbot. From here it was downhill to the car.<br />

Regular readers may wonder what has happened to the "Navigator", well he has forsaken wet Wales for the Canary Islands where no doubt he is sprawled on a beach in his speedos' reading some trashy novel.<br />

<br />

The route shows an inland walk taking in some woodland and a walk down to Cwmtydu.<br />

A number of families with accompanying dogs were enjoying the beach and it was good to see the children being allowed to play in the stream throwing in pretty large poo sticks without being told off. No doubt there wellies were just too short to stop the ingress of water.<br />

Back to base for our last meal and packing up for the trip home on Friday.<br />
