Meet at Ystrad Mynach Car park at 9:00 for car sharing or at the walk stat for a 10:00 departure

The route takes us across the Blorenge and descends to the Devil’s Punch Bowl.  We then walk along the side of the mountain following the old tram road. .  We then take a diagonal path which leads us to Keeper’s Pond.  The walk takes us across the common back to the start.  (On previous walks there has been a convenient ice cream van somewhere near Keepers Pond!!)

For those who have walked this previously there are two point to note

•  We will start from the Foxhunter Car Park rather than Keeper’s Pond (which tends to be popular with open water swimmers)
•  By taking the diagonal path off the tram road we will avoid the rather steep climb at the very top of the valley back to Keeper’s Pond
