Linear Walk in the Cambrian mountains.

A modeately strenuous linear walk across the lonely Cambrian mountains from Eisteddfa Gurig to Nant yr Arian via Pumlumon, Y Garn & Hirnant.  The route goes along various types of tracks & open hillside scrub with 1 ladder stile & 3 stream crossings.   From the start at Esteddfa Gurig it is a track then grassy footpath past the old lead mine workings to the summit of Pumlumon Fawr at 752mts which is the highest point in Ceredigion. Given a clear day there are excellent 360 degree panoramic views. From the summit the route along a ridge is followed to Yr Garn at 684mts, then descend steeply over rough ground & cross a stream on stepping stones. After stretches on a track & minor road with good views of Nantymoch reservoir & dam the Afon  Rheidol is crossed & then a bridleway is followed past a bronze age stone circle & cairns plus an Iron age hill fort on the way to Nantyrarian.
