This 8.5 mile walk climbs on to Table Mountain above Crickhowell, which is topped with the remains of a most spectacularly positioned Iron-age fort. It then scales the steep escarpment above to cross Pen Cerrig-calch. Following a superb lofty traverse of another formidable peak, Pen Allt-mawr, with terrific views over the Black Mountains, the walk then descends a broad ridge that forms the western wall of the remote Grwyne Fechan valley. Details are on the website https://www.ratedtrips.com/walking/pen-cerrig-calch-and-table-mountain

 Also Pen Cerrig-calch and Table Mountain are on the Platinum Route of COG's big charity fundraiser, The Three Peaks Trial, which this year takes place on Saturday 28th March. So it's also an opportunity to find out more about this COG event as well from the walk leader Chris Lewis.

Happy Chinese New Year Everyone. And to celebrate The Year Of The Horse, I have booked a table at Riverside Cantonese Restaurant on Leckwith Rd. 

As well as being near to Ninian Park Station, this restaurant also benefits from having its own car park.(Plus, Cardiff City aren't playing at home on 25th.)

I have managed to book a table that will accommodate a party of sixteen. So, when these places are taken,I will not be able to secure any more seats. So please don't hang around. drop me a text on 07788581605 join in the celebrations.

                      Cheers for now, Sian.
