Hafren Forest and Source of the Severn

Let's explore the infamous forest boardwalk as we explore our way through the Forest with its waterfalls and cascades and adventure up to the Source of the Severn below Pumlumon (Mid Wales' highest mountain). If time allows we will venture up to the summit of Pen Pumlumon Arwystl.

About your guide:

Hi, I'm Emily and I'm a qualified and insured Mountain Leader, RLSS Open  and Level 3 Outdoors First Aid certified.

I am hugely passionate about bringing women together in a safe space in the outdoors. I know first hand what it can feel like to be overwhelmed by huge groups of new people, that's why my aim is to keep these group walks small, so you can take the time to get to chat and meet likeminded women.

Kit List:

I will share a full kit list with your welcome email, but here is a brief idea.

• Head torch
• Spare batteries
• Back pack
• Hiking boots / walking shoes 
• Food / snacks
• Water (bring plenty)
• Waterproofs - jacket and coat
• Layers

Toilets:

There are public toilets available at the start and they you may need to embrace a 'wild wee'.

Parking:

There is a small car park available, which gets very busy. Hopefully starting a little earlier will avoid the busy time. We will try and lift share where possible to save space.
