Exploring Mynydd Du south of the escarpment - a day of sink + swallow holes, standing stones, tarns, aircraft crash sites, remote hills, a sleeping giant & large doses of peace & solitude. Does include two stream crossings

General Notes
This is a tough wilderness walk - so often faint or non-existent paths, occasional tussocky/ boggy areas, two stream crossings (Afons Twrch & Haffes) that, if swollen, will involve wading/ wet feet. Could be slow going (e.g. 1.5mph), so torch just in case. Poles a big asset
