"An interesting walk starting at the lowest dam in the Elan Valley complex. Parked at visitor centre and crossed by dam over bridge between the hydro-electric generator buildings. From here a steep set of steps up to the top of the dam, then along the side of the resevoir. You get to an old dam which, interestingly enough, was blown up by Barnes Wallis in the early 1940s as part of his experiments for the Dambuster raid in the Ruhr valley. Here the main climb starts twisting slowly back round to face north, the top being one of several craggy prominences. Lots of paths up here, I tried finding my way back down by heading north on the resevoir side, but gave up when it just looked too steep, but to the right it could have been done. Returned by same path." — vygodski • Mar 26, 2023

"Today I go up to La Atalaya de Cieza by a path on the north slope that I located on the Peakery maps. Indeed I find the route that begins with a gentle slope but later becomes almost a vertical path with many climbs where you have to be careful. The views are really good of the city of Cieza and its fruit fields, also of the surrounding mountains.
I took lunch as usual and I enjoyed it in the tranquility of the summit where today I have not seen almost anyone because there was no sporting event on the mountain." — franciscobirruezo • Mar 26, 2023

"After eight years I return to the mountains where my experience in Peakery began, these two peaks are the highest in my Region and from them there is a magnificent 360 degree view. However, this time I go alone and I go up from Puerto Hondo near the village of Cañada de La Cruz, it is about 4 miles round trip with a difference in altitude of 1640 feet. The trail begins in a fairly dense forest but further on it has significant slopes and it is necessary to stop for air. It is well indicated by the stone milestones that other mountaineers have been placing. Already at the first peak, which is Pico Obispo, a mother and her son have arrived from Inazares and we have taken the opportunity to eat together and share good conversation. We have also moved to the other summit, Pico Revolcadores where there was another group of hikers. Pretty nice day for this magnificent place." — franciscobirruezo • Mar 25, 2023
