3rd August - day 3 Clog Fawr

This morning we headed for Clog Fawr again. We identified three groups of buildings found on the 1587 maps. This was not entirely easy as the detail had changed by the time the tithe map was drawn in 1840. It is noticeable that the field systems in this part of the valley have not extended so much upslope to the east. This is probably due to the narrowness of the land between the road and the fairly extreme steeper wooded enclosures.
After lunch we walked up Cwm Pyrgad and around part of the Brinore tram road, descending the steep cliff above the Dyffryn Crawnon nature reserve. We returned past Cefn Crieg.
Team for today, Jemma, Dario, Richard, Connor, Ed & Jan. We were joined by Charlene at the usual watering hole debrief.
