Trip Report: Fforest Fawr

There can be few more remote walks in South Wales than crossing the Cnwer Estate on foot. Even reaching the start point in the Forestry at Blaen Llia involves several twisty miles on virtually single track roads.

Of course things are not as bad as they used to be, open access has cut the milage by a chunk and realistic circulars even in winter are now possible.

As normal for me I tackles the four tops anticlockwise. there is something about the watershed crossing that makes it far more pleasant after the first not the third climb of the day.

Equally common was the weather with cloud hovering around all morning then descending rapidly to make for a cold wet afternoon. One of those days just to put your head down and get going.
