Overview

From Pontsticill bus terminus, we cross the dam and walk to the end of the reservoir. At the bridge, we then go into the woodland where we decorate a Christmas tree with environmentally friendly decorations. We then return to the start via the Red Cow Pub.

Please note that the only access to pontsticll is through Vaynor. The road past the mountain railway is still blocked..
