Merthyr Valley Group printable Programme
The Merthyr Valley Group is based in the Heads of the Valleys area of South Wales. Our Group Walks mainly take place in and around Merthyr Tydfil, in the Brecon Beacons and elsewhere in South East Wales. Occasionally walks are organised further afield and there is usually a May Bank Holiday tour. Walks take place each Saturday, starting at 10.00 am, and range from the longer, 10 miles plus down to the more leisurely 5 or 6 miles. These latter walks tend to form part of the Stepping Stones Programme. Other Stepping Stones Walks, usually of 3 or 4 miles duration, are organised for summer evenings at 6.15 pm.
General Note
Most walks listed here are intended primarily for Ramblers' Association members. Non-members are welcome to join us as guests on two or three walks, though if you walk with a group regularly you will be expected to join the Ramblers.
Please make sure that you are fit enough to undertake the walk you intend to join. If you're unsure of your fitness level, try a short and easy walk first: it's much better to find a walk a little too slow and easy than to make yourself miserable and exhausted.
Most Ramblers' walks are off-road in rural areas. Please have suitable footwear and clothing for the walk you intend to join, and bring some food and drink, even if the walk includes a pub or café break. Leaders may refuse to accept participants who in their opinion are inadequately equipped or unfit. When in doubt, contact the organisers or the walk leader in advance.
For your own and others' safety please read and abide by any advice and guidelines issued by the organisers, and the instructions of the walk leader. Though walking is inherently one of the safest outdoor activities, no activity is completely without risk and it is your responsibility to behave sensibly and to minimise the potential for accidents to occur.
