Cwm Llwch has a Makeover For those who do not know about Cwm Llwch, it is a remote old Welsh stone farmhouse in the Brecon Beacons which the College uses regularly for camping and walking weekends and it has recently had a make-over. Forty Lower Sixth pupils who will all be taking part in the expedition to Ghana later this summer, spent much of a weekend cleaning and painting in a phenomenal effort to give the much-loved cottage a face-lift. Years of cobwebs, grime, rubbish and old mattresses were removed before the teams set about painting. This was part of the Ghana group preexpedition training because much of the time in Ghana will be
spent working on charitable projects. Given the time available the make-over was something of a challenge but the place now looks fantastic, and has since been enjoyed by many more College visitors. “It was a great privilege to be the first house to experience the gentrified Cwm Llwch farmhouse,� say the boys of No.1, first to make the trip after the transformation. Big thanks go to all of the senior pupils involved in this worthwhile project. Cwm Llwch is a palace once again! Justin Major, i/c Outdoor Pursuits
