    Tips

    October 19, 2021

    Easier to walk it than it is to say, the Rhiw yr Ysgyfarnog escarpment is an arrow-straight ridge that takes hikers from the high points of the Central Beacons towards the Neuadd Reservoirs and Taf Fechan Forest.

    Few paths in Britain's mountains are this straight for so long and the easy gradient only adds to this sense. It seems to go on and on and on. However, the views to the west, down into Cwm Crew and beyond to the Black Mountain are superb.
