Further info:
Each year since 2003 author Brian John has led a series of easy 'literary walks' on Angel Mountain, involving easy rambles through "Martha Morgan Country". These have proved very popular, and in 2011 Brian will once again lead walks for those who would like to (a) talk to the author about the novels of the Angel Mountain Saga, and (b) discover some of the key sites referred to in the stories.
Most walks start at 2 pm and finish by 5 pm, unless indicated otherwise in the list. Participants visit the site of Plas Ingli, Ffynnon Brynach, the approximate location of Martha's cave, and the summit of Carningli. There is normally plenty of time for questions and discussions, and Brian also points out other features of interest on the mountain, including traces of the old Carningli volcano, traces of Bronze Age settlements, remnants of the Carningli Iron Age hillfort, and other items relating to natural history and the landscape.
Participants are advised to wear stout footwear and warm clothing, and to be prepared for a gentle climb to the rocky summit. This should not be a problem for people of average fitness.
Starting point: the car parking area at the foot of the "green track" which leads to the Carningli summit. Grid reference: SN 070 373
Directions: take the Cilgwyn Road out of Newport. After one mile, fork right onto the Dolrannog Road (no through road). Cross the cattle grid and continue for c 400 yards. The grassy car parking area is on your left, overlooking Brithdir and the "cwm" of Cilgwyn.
Charge: £4 per person. Children of school age £2. All proceeds to charity.
Inclement weather: The walks may be cancelled if the weather is miserable. In case of doubt ring on the morning of the walk to 01239-820470.
