Overview

Passing the slopes above Dan-yr-Ogof, we ascend, (avoiding sink holes to Saith Maen South), an alignment of seven upright and semi-recumbent orthostats trending NNE by SSW.

After crossing the open landscape to Cribarth, we descend to Ynyswen to cross the Afon Tawe, then follow the wooded valley to Henrhyd Falls.

We return across fields and following tracks.
