Cwm Colhuw trapping - Friday night

I'll be trapping with the WTSWW at their Cwm Colhuw reserve on Friday night (26th July) - if anyone fancies coming along you'll be very welcome. We're meeting at the Llantwit Major beach car park at 9pm and carrying gear up to the reserve from there - if anyone wants to bring traps that will be fine, but there'll be a bit of a walk involved.

Thanks
George

  2. George, I may join you depending on what time my wife gets home! In any event it will be after 9pm. Will I be able to find you from the car park easily once you have set up, (not sure the reserve is on the slope to the east of the river or up on the cliff top?)?

  3. Great stuff, doesn't matter if you arrive after 9pm. The reserve is to the east of the c/p up a zigzag path, see:

  4. Thanks George, I will follow the lights! Would you like me to bring the 400w bulb kit and a sheet with me? I don't fancy lugging the generator up there after dark though!

  5. Yes that might be a problem! I'm sure we can help you with the gear though. It's a series of steps up to the reserve, but I've not been there so not sure how steep.

  6. I don't remember it being particularly steep, but I do remember that there were a lot of steps!
