Overview

The trail starts from the village of Llanfrynach (public toilets - donation requested)

The afternoon forecast has changed to make the Fan Y Big ridge walk unsuitable. Plan B is to do a recce from the same Llanfrynach toilets start point, with the 570m climb from Llanfrynach to The Bryn first thing then drop down into the woodlands to Pencelli and along the river and canal back to Llanfrynach. Hopefully the woods will take us out of the wind and make any rain showers more tolerable. Start still 9.45 for 10am depart. Should be back before 3pm.

While the trail is dog-friendly, it’s recommended to keep dogs on leads for their safety, as  you’re likely to encounter free-roaming sheep.
