A lovely walk passing the old Henllys Colliery nr Cwmbran, South Wales

The scenery was pleasant with lots of wild life along the route.
The route displayed starts at Cwmbran because it was easier to take photos travelling back down hill.
A short 3.5 mile hike up to the top of Twmbarlum mountain following the ridge north/East back down to our starting point. Strong winds across the top but it was good to start walking again after a long layoff. Got the heart pumping hard again on the climb up, and the knees giving me jip on the way down, but still worth it to see the views.
