Goodrich to Symonds Yat and back

I’d previously (on 28th March) done a walk to Ruardean Hill with Roger and Cardiff Ramblers, as well as a few former colleagues from UWIC who had joined the walk that day.



This was another walk in the same company. This time one of just over 10 miles in the Forest of Dean, alongside the Wye, below Yat Rock. It was also good to be in the company of John, another former colleague from Cardiff University, who was leading the walk today.

The Google Map of the walk can be seen here.

“The Cambrian Way – Stage 1”



I sort of did this walk under false pretences. I was still a newbie to Cardiff Ramblers and hadn’t worked out Gwyn’s sense of humour. He had no real intention to do The Cambrian Way in stages; it was just that this walk was indeed the first stage of the trans-Wales route, mostly, mainly across open land. Of course this stretch wasn’t, mainly relying on pieces of the Taff Trail, but just around Castell Coch there were some deviations and tracks that I hadn’t walked before. A really pleasant 7 miles and the bus home. An extra bonus … I joined CADW!!
