The walk will initially follow the route of the railway that killed the canal, looking at the wharfs at Govilon and Llanfoist. Then visit Crawshay Bailey's grave, an iron bridge (the first in Wales) and an inclined plane (used for tram cars carrying limestone down from the quarries). The route back along the canal will pass Bailey's house and the site of a breach in the walls of the canal (an all too frequent event, even now!).

Bill Chase will explain more challenging navigation techniques with plenty of practice by participants. We will explore relatively featureless moorland above Llangattock with rough tussocky terrain with most of the day off paths. Please bring a compass and OS map OL13. Ascent 1000ft.

The route you take for this walk will broadly be up to you, as there are a number of caches hidden along its length and, with the aid of a GPS device, your mission is to find them! (There is a friendly guide on hand to assist!) No experience necessary and do not worry if you do not have a GPS there will be some to borrow.

A gentle stroll around Crickhowell to hear about its history and some of the interesting buildings.

Working with peat, wool, people and possibility.

Artist Pip Woolf has a novel approach to the problem of upland erosion in the mountains, to use a locally abundant, ecologically sound, biodegradable substance................sheep's wool. Working with over 500 volunteers, Pip has laid five, 300 metre long, lines of felted wool across a peat scar on Pen Trumau. This walk, which involves one steep climb, will see the results of the work begun in 2010.
