Pont Nedd Fechan to Sgwd Gwladus and return - 3 hours 22 minutes.

FFS sake Paul - you should take more than three pictures you know...:-)

79.84% of all statistics are made up on the spot. The other 42% are made up later on. In Warwick -
looking at flat fields and that includes the castle.

Troll alert.

I bet it would take you and Rooney even longer, if you add in the time spent in the pub!

At the moment I'm digital-less, so I guess I'll just have to make do with my 6x9.

That would be Gladys, in her South Pennines book. :-)

A PITA.

Any relation to Sgwd?

I dunno, but her last name is Sellers, and the book is a good exploration of the S.P. but if she had
only used a GPS, or even a bit of cotton and measured the walks it would be useful.

I haven't used any walks from it, but have done a few which my walking partner extracted. It
introduced us to the area.

Shortly before you posted this I mentioned a walk I'd just done to Sgwd Gwladys, in the same thread.

Waterfall. Other names are rhaeadr and pistyll.

Rhaeadr is the one I know, and pistyll - or something very like it - was mentioned recently by one
of my Welsh teachers. I asked about sgwd at the time, but she's not familiar with the area (people
here don't seem to get out much) and was unable to make the connection. Anyway, I thought it had to
be something like that, so thanks. Do I take it the words are used in different contexts, or are
they interchangeable (except in place names of course)?

Sgwd seems to be a local word (Beacons area) for waterfall, just like Fan is the common local word
for peak or summit.

Rhaeadr is the most common word I think. I believe that a pistyll is a "spout" or a high, narrow
waterfall, so maybe a sgwd is a lower broader fall. One fall in Wales is named Pistyll y Rhaeadr.
