Wild Camp in South Wales II

I was aiming to make my way from Neath to the forests above Tonmawr, but it turned out to be far more difficult than both OS and Google Maps led me to believe - especially since I had a mountain bike laden with gear. I'd definitely set my targets too high for this one....!

After wandering around for ages trying to find a flat, comfortable place - I ended up in the middle of a field near Mosshouse Wood. Turns out it was a really nice spot; but it was obvious from the litter, that others have also camped there. Please, leave no trace. https://lnt.org/why/7-principles/
