General Notes

A long walk, with no real big or overly steep climbing, pace will be varied, deliberately slower on upland areas and a bit faster on lanes and good footpaths. The walk has a lot of undulation, which will prove a little tiring towards the end. 4200' of climbing, Maps Exp 166, OL13 (Train time is 08:32am to Lisvane and will cost around £3.50 single to Lisvane)
