Mountain Views - The Margam Mountain And Brombil Walk 

Fair play Marcus your climbing is breathless just sitting here.👍👍

I started watching your walks during Lockdown. I love them. As a Port Talbot lad, you've covered many of the areas I frequented as a young walker! It's all fantastic stuff! I now live in Lincolnshire. I intend following your walk when I visit relatives! Thanks Marcus

Saw this video this morning and in two hours we were at the start of the walk. Ended up doing just over 15 miles. Great videos thanks.

Did this walk today with my mate we both really enjoyed, been looking for some new local walks to do, the map and direction tips were very helpful, we still had a little wander off but soon corrected ourselves 😂 The last few kms are a bit wet at the moment NRW have been using a grader to widen the road down and pit drainage pipes in so it gets pretty muddy between 5-6 miles in. Great views on a beautiful crisp winters day today and it looked as good today as when you did it in the summer. Keep up the good work.

Love this walk

I succeeded after my second attempt to complete this route :) I started the route on Thursday from my house in Margam, went through an underpass by Lansbury Avenue to get onto Margam Mountain. I joined your route heading upto Brombil Res then headed up above the Res after watching your video then followed your route after making notes on your video and remembering which way you went. I have no idea how to use GPS coordinates so I just remembered your video. On Thursday I got to the top road path above the Res and followed that road but kept on going straight when I should of taking a slight right after the stacked up logs. After realising I'd taking the wrong route and started to get a bit scared that I was going to be one of those people who are rescued or found a few days later lol, I just retraced my steps back where I came from and headed back home. I tried again today after watching your video again and this time I was successful:)) Your directions were very good and I was really happy that I was able to complete this route after wondering for years if it was possible to get to Margam Park via Brombil Res. The full round route from my house and back took 2 hours and 50 minutes. I'd forgotten about the magical experience of exploring and having new experiences that I knew from when i was a kid and this journey today reminded me of the wonder of life and getting into an adventurous mindset. Thank you Marcus i would not of had this experience if you hadn't of uploaded this video! P.S. I need to look into how GPS works lol

Grew up in Margam, but never walked up behind the Res before. Done this as my first walk in a long time, not a good choice when overweight and unfit for the first one back lol, but really enjoyed. Directions were great thank you, I did also use the GPS route also, but could have done from memory from your video. Took me a lot longer to complete last week and was a bit worrried at one point if Mountain Rescue would be needed lol. Thank you, intend to follow a few more of your walks, probably more of the flatter ones for a while !

Beautiful! Especially with the bluebells.

Just the view at the very start of the video is worth the steep hike!

Thank you! I live in Margam and go for a walk up Margam Mountain every couple of weeks and I could never figure out how to get above Brombil Res. Thank you, I'll try and find the route this week.

Wow it must have taken quite some time to cut that trail... You can see the different trees and flowers at the different levels of the hike. 🐑

Looks a stunning walk, hopefully get a chance to walk it in the future. Great video Marcus 👍

Stunning walk Marcus. Loved that sea of bluebells on the way up, Thank you for the directions, if I ever get to walk this I will be sure to watch this again before setting off. Great video.

Nice Walk That Marcus I've not done that route before but have visited Brombil and the Radar Station a while ago now!

Another superb local walk, lots and lots of trees on the mountain, is it all commercial or is it wild?

i think theyre taking the trees down in order to replant with native species its happening in scotland as well , might make this a late autumn walk if theres lots of uphill

I swam in it when I was. 19 Marcus frightened me a bit that was in 1975 beautiful blue lake nobody’s around to rescue you if you get into trouble though so deep it is I was with my mate but he couldn’t have helped me cause he couldn’t swim ha .
