Walks:
20-Nov Llandeilo Grabhan Hill Cancelled
Sorry to say this walk has been cancelled due to icy roads.
Conditions:It will be around the normal length and I am planning to walk to Twm Tobacco's grave and then out to the road over the hill between Painscastle and Rhulen and then back along the top to the starting point.

27-Nov Wye Valley walk and wilderness experience
Start Point: Free public car park in Llangurig. A spectacular walk initially following the Wye Valley Way south from Llangurig. We then pass over common land offering spectacular views all round before rejoining an established path back to the car park. 1324 feet of ascent nearly all of which is before lunch; gradual rather than steep inclines. Opportunity for tea and cake in the local café at the end.
Conditions:7 Miles. Just under a mile at the start on quiet lanes and then the established Wye Valley Way which is kind on the feet. Less established paths on the common but still reasonably easy going. If the weather hasn't been kind some bits could be a touch on the boggy side. Last section back on established paths.

30-Nov Chris Jones Memorial (Saturday)
It is a 10.30 start at the Elan Valley Visitor Centre for a short launch event with tea and biscuits. After the launch of the leaflets there will be an opportunity to go for a short or slightly longer walk from the Visitor Centre
Conditions:The short walk of around 2 miles will take us through the Elan Village before climbing gradually through woodland to the top of Caban Coch dam. Then it is just a short walk back down to the Visitor Centre. The longer version follows the same route to the top of the dam but then continues to follow the well-known dambusters route. This is around 5 miles and does involve a steep ascent and descent before returning to the Visitor centre.

04-Dec Breaking new ground in Llanwrthwl
Parking: in front of the church. Also, plenty of street parking nearby. Start Point: Church in Llanwrthwl. This is an exciting opportunity to follow a route that hasn’t been accessible for many moons. Thanks to the efforts from local volunteers, including our own Jill Willey and Alan Austin, we can now follow a very pleasant route through forestry and common land before returning on paths many of us have used in the past.
Start Point:214 SN 97575 63757
Conditions:6 Miles. Short stretches on quiet lanes to start with and after elevenses. The newly opened paths we will encounter in the morning are a touch on the boggy side and gaiters will help to keep your trousers dry unless, naming no names, you fall over in the mud! The rest of the route is on well established paths. No stiles but one small gate to scale.
