Talk:Blaenllechau

Description checked. It's pretty good, but if you're not familiar with the valleys, starting in Ferndale isn't the greatest. Also the signs as you approach them are NSL (they're 30 when returning from the quarry). Proposed changes are:

From Pontypridd, follow the A4058 and follow signs for A4233/Ferndale and follow the signs to Blaenllechau on the other side of the valley. Follow the hairpin road into the village and take the second very sharp right hand turn with a turning circle (seems like a roundabout, but isn't, use this to take the turn) onto the minor mountain road to Penrhiwceiber/Llanwonno. Follow this road to the end of the highest terrace and park in the limited space by the National Speed Limit/30mph/village signs. Walk approx 200m up the road and follow the rough path down and left at the crash barrier. It is also possible to park a small car here or one of the lower terraces if the previous spot is full.

Route descriptions are fine (follow the bolts left from right, not hard is it?).

However:

"A few metres right is the blocky arete of..."

A few??? Try 15 metres, if you're going to specify distances. eg:

"15 meters to the right is the blocky arete of..."

Next gap after this (to plumbers wall) is 10 meters.

Quite a nice crag all in and the wiki descriptions were generally good. We have a few photos, will put into a communal area somewhere. Matthew Moore and Joe Gallacher - Friday 19th of April, 2012.

Roy, one thing anybody has to accept when writing on a wiki is that they can expect their efforts to be mercilessly edited and re-edited. --Tim Hoddy 11:15, 27 June 2012 (BST)

It wasn't meant to be orrible. More of a comment. Would have been ok to leave as was. Have made a few small changes and added a route we did today. --Matthew Moore - SWMC Communications Officer 22:07, 5 January 2013 (GMT)
