  • TerrainChallenging - two tough climbs followed by two less demanding ones, on mostly well made paths with some steep descents. Shortcut avoids final two climbs.

Another chance to walk this exhilarating, strenuous and challenging, twelve mile, circular walk, on the hills around Pontypridd.

Participants will be rewarded with great views from Cefn Eglwysilan and see lots of evidence of the area’s rich industrial past.  It will be an all-day walk (expect to return to the start after 5 pm) and include some urban walking.

Please feel welcome to attend after you have assessed your personal ability to complete the walk.  There will be one café stop on the walk and an option to cut short the walk at the 8 mile stage, after the two toughest climbs, to take a trainer-level walk back to the start.
