Bryn Serth (SO 148 109) - Pedwar reclassified to 400m Sub-Pedwar
There has been another reclassification of a Pedwar to a 400m Sub-Pedwar through surveying with the Trimble GeoXH 6000 and which was subsequently confirmed via LIDAR analysis, with the latter conducted by Aled Williams. The hill is situated in the South Wales Cymoedd Gwent range of hills, and is positioned on the northern outskirts of Tredegar beside the A4047 at the head of the Cwm Sirhywi (Sirhowey Valley).
There has been another reclassification of a Pedwar to a 400m Sub-Pedwar through surveying with the Trimble GeoXH 6000 and which was subsequently confirmed via LIDAR analysis, with the latter conducted by Aled Williams. The hill is situated in the South Wales Cymoedd Gwent range of hills, and is positioned on the northern outskirts of Tredegar beside the A4047 at the head of the Cwm Sirhywi (Sirhowey Valley).
The hill is named Bryn Serth (SO 147 109) and it is given c 34m of
drop in the 1st edition of the Y Pedwarau published by
Europeaklist. This drop figure is based
on an estimated c 410m summit height which has a small 410m uppermost contour ring and an
estimated bwlch height of c 376m. The
area of the bwlch has a 376m spot height on contemporary Ordnance Survey maps
but its position was judged not to be at the critical bwlch.
The hill was surveyed in the company of Mark Trengove who had
suggested the walk and muttered disillusionment when told that the hill was no
longer a Pedwar due to the survey that had taken place, as it brings his total
of Pedwarau bagged in Section 32C back down to zero!
This now brings the overall total for the Y Pedwarau to 449 hills
with five additions and three deletions since publication of the list by
Europeaklist in May 2013. The hill will
be taken out of the main list and added to the 400m Sub-Pedwar list in the 2nd
edition planned for publication by Europeaklist.
The list of Pedwar hills is also available from the Haroldstreet website.
