Summit Information for GW/SW-002
Waun Fach - 811m, 8 points
Association: Wales Region: South Wales
Latitude: 51 57 46 N, Longitude: 3 8 38 W
For my second visit to this summit, I decided to try a different route, but still using the same start point, the car park at SO 252 284.
From the car park I walked up stream for a few hundred metres, until I came to a rough stone track on my left, which runs all the way up to the dam at Grwyne Fawr reservoir (SO233 308). A pleasant walk with a gentle gradient and great views of the valley. As I approached the dam I could see that the over spill from the reservoir was frozen solid on the dam face. Luckily for me, the weather had warmed up considerably flowing the freezing temperatures and high winds of the previous few days.
After crossing the dam I headed directly for the summit which was only another 2k away, with an accent of around 280m.
On arrival I was very pleased to find that the ankle deep mud Andy and I had encountered on our last visit was frozen solid, and I was able to find a sheltered spot out of the wind. Shortly after setting up, the contacts came rolling in and I quickly filled a page in my log without too much effort.
Many thanks to all those who took the trouble to help with my second activation of Waun Fach,
