We are the Woodspring Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We will meet at the carpark at the north end of the Mynydd Du Forest about 10 miles north of Abergavenny. A short walk takes us out of the forest to open moorland for the rest of the walk. A steepish climb takes us to Pen y Gadair Fawr and on to Waun Fach, the highest point in the Black Mountains. From here we descend a ridge and continue via Bwlch Bach a’r Grib and on to Blaen Grwyne Fawr. Alternatively, some may prefer to take a shortcut from Waun Fach directly to Blaen Grwyne Fawr avoiding around 3 miles and 1,000 ft of climb. The remainder of the route is a reasonably gentle descent to Grwyne Fawr Reservoior and back into the forest.
Coffee & lunch stops. Less than 5 stiles.
Please inform the leader if you intend joining this walk.
