Black Mountain (Mynydd Du) Car Park And Picnic Area

J﻿oin us on this spectacular hike around a lesser known part of the Black Mountains. We&#x27;ll start deep in the forest at Mynydd Du car park, head up and follow a wide ridge along to Rhos Dirion which has views all across the Wye Valley. We&#x27;ll then follow Grwyne Fawr stream down to the epic reservoir where we&#x27;ll have a chance to explore the only bothy in the Brecon Beacons before heading back to the car park. This is a long mountain day so some experience hiking on hills is required, however we will go nice and slow and take our time to make it more suitable for all. If you are worried about fitness please message me and we can work out if the hike is suitable for you together.

I&#x27;m passionate about reconnecting women back nature through adventure and outdoor skills. I set up the club because I didn&#x27;t feel like I belonged in the outdoor community and I wanted to create a safe space for women like me to head out and enjoy the outdoors in their own way. I love meeting all the lush people who come along to our events and it&#x27;s best feeling seeing everyone come away feeling more connected to nature and making connections with other like-minded women too. Transport: This walk is only accessible by car. We will meet at Mynydd Du car park <a href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/UTMLLmxjQjRrdesX8" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>. The car park is free.

There are a few hidden spots en-route which I will point out if anyone needs it, if you need to go, just tell someone in the group and hang back for some privacy.Safety:I like to make these hikes as enjoyable as possible for everyone, so I keep a slow and steady pace.
