A fairly exposed walk starting and finishing with roads and fields, but mostly comprising open moorland. Up the remote Cwm Banw to the ridge below Pen Allt-mawr, then along the ridge to Mynydd Llysiau. Back down the Grwyne Fechan valley via the green and gentle Macnamara’s Road. We then follow the path along the hill wall through Park Wood and down to the road. Paths are sometimes faint and rough, but the climbing is gradual and all in the first 2 hours!

DIRECTIONS TO START
From the front of CRiC take A40 towards Abergavenny and turn immediately left after the Fire Station up Greenhill Way. Then right at the mini-roundabout and first left into Great Oak Road. Continue along this road for about 4½ miles. (Do not turn left or right at white cottage.) Soon after a sharp right hand bend you will pass a red telephone box and then come to a no through road sign at a junction. Turn sharply right and immediately left onto forest track and follow signs for Tir y Nant (Brook Cottage on pre-2009 maps).
