| Sgwd yr EiraWalk: | Nedd Fechan, Pont Meli fach, Pont Rhyd-y-cnau, Sgwd Clun-gwyn, Hendre-bolon, Sgwd Isaf Clun-gwyn, Sgwd yr Eira | ||
| Start Point: | Pontneddfeccan | Grid Reference: | SN 902 077 |
| Distance: | 12 miles | Ascent: | 1,750 feet |
| Time: | 6 hours | ||
| Weather: | Mainly overcast with a little sun | ||
| Comments: | A very varied mainly in tree. The terrain varied from wide laid track to undulating muddy rocky sections to countless steps to road. Headin north beside the river gave lots of opportunities to see small waterfalls and fast flowing water as well as the more spectacular waterfalls. The highlight of the day was the Sgwd yr Eira where it is possible to walk behind the cascading water - preferably with waterproof on! | ||
