“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!!

The Salmon Leaps and Caerau Hill Fort

A leisurely walk this, of about 8 miles, with Roger – exploring an area I didn’t know at all well, in fact I didn’t know it all – the area between Caerau and Dinas Powis. A lovely spring walk which now has the added focus of being near where Carol & Chris “bought” a Woodland Trust tree for us to celebrate our Ruby Wedding.
