Blaenavon

The site is mid way between Blaenavon and Abersychan on the road that goes down the valley.

The trek up to the site was a killer - took 25 mins to get up, took 15 to get down!

Once up there the views were outstanding. Had a feeling I was being watched when taking the pics, there was a flock of sheep up there looking at me daft!

Blaenavon is a rather more interesting and strategic site than it first appears. As well as being a standard relay for Blaenavon there is also a service from this site on a second set of channels. It's believed that the channels used for the Blaenavon Link service are 39/45/49/42 - the same as those used at nearby Abergavenny. It's also understood that the link service exists to provide an RBL feed for downstream relays Pontypool and Usk.
