A few updates

We explored along Sarn Helen starting from Coelbren to get some records from unrecorded areas. The views were also rewarding as we approached the Nedd valley.



This had us stumped - and the online picture ID apps actually helped - a common enough plant but we weren't familiar with the fruits.
Fruits of Sneezewort, Ystrewlys or Achillea ptarmica

And a section of the road where Roman drainage no longer worked yielded this.

Floating Bur-reed Cleddlys arnofiol or Sparganium angustifolium

And here is a lovely view of the Beacons from an unusual viewpoint, Cwar yr Ystrad on Llangynidr Mountain. Anne was exploring another under recorded area.
