Well I started at Llanerch Rd (Bon-y-Maen) and walked S along the track. Marvellous view, especially impressive of Swansea waterfont. How this has change in the 10 yrs since I bagged Mynydd Dinas! The starting point, though in a rather run down area, worked well as I was driving from Tenby to Neathpwheeler14/05/2022
