We meet at 9am at the 'Venture Wales' car park, opposite Tesco petrol station in Aberdare prior to most of our weekend walks.
If you wish to go to the start of the walk,
please contact the walk leader for further information.


We also arrange a mid-week daytime walk throughout the year, these walks take place on a Wednesday apart from when our evening walks are in progress, they then take place on a Tuesday (i.e. May to July).
 These walks are not publicised as such, but arranged on an ad hoc basis depending on location and availability of walk leader's.
 The start location is often at other venues in the Valley.
Contact Colin Harris 01443 474365 for further info
