The Rhymney Ridgeway Walk - Measycwmmer to Bedwas

After parking the van, we stepped out on to the Common, heading south towards Bedwas.

Turning around and swoping to the long lens, Pen-y-fan 30 miles to the north.

to the east, the Sirhowy Valley snaking its was towards Newport.

Could that be the Severn Bridge in the far distance?

Gosh, so it is.  Love these almost Mongolian crystal clear days.

Round a corner in the track and we were looking out over Caerphilly towards the channel and the Devon coast.  Here we were 1000 feet above sea level looking the the south west.
