We went for a long walk last weekend, a circular route that took us up Gwaun Cerrig Llwydion and Waun Rydd, and visited the crash site of a wellington bomber that came down in 1942. The wreckage is still there; very atmospheric. I’ve included the crash site pictures on the new Waun Rydd mountain page, here, and the pages for Gwaun cerrig Llwydion can be found here
hi. i used to be in the army back in 2003 and for part of my training we went to Wales on an adventure training week. for part of it, we went fell walking around the Black Mountains. i cant remember exactly where we started from but i know we went up some hills from an area with 1 or 2 farms and houses and after 2 or so hours climbing gently, we followed the top of a cliff face and went past an old ruin of some sort of building on top of a hill then we dropped down into a small valley where there was a road going through and a small pub. on the next day, we set off across some moorland in pretty much the same direction as what we had come down and came upon the Wellington Bomber wreckage and took some time to look around it. after we left the site, we went back up and over the other side of what i can only guess was the same hill we came over the day before. again i appologize for the lack of information as it was a while ago and have since left the army but the wreckage has stuck in my mind and so would like to visit it again, so any information about the wreckage and if it sounds like the site that we went to in 2003 would be greatly appeciated. thank you for your time.
