Overview

This is a joint walk with Cardiff Metropolitan University Rambling & Hiking Society.

This is a linear walk containing some lovely views, a fair amount of ascent and a lot of mud!

We arrive into Hengoed by train at 10:09. We climb out of the town along the Rhymney Ridgeway. We deviate from that path and continue along undulating paths until we eventually end up on Mynydd Dimlaith. We then head down into Llanbradach to catch the train back to Cardiff.

Walking boots are essential and gaiters are advisable. Please bring full waterproofs, hat and gloves. Dogs are welcome.
