Tadpole Cutting is just below Old Coed y Bleiddiau Curve. It gets its name from the Tadpole young volunteer group lead by Keith Catchpole. Soon in the decade after the reopening to Tan y Bwlch in 1958 this group of youngsters from Chase School worked here to clear rhododendrons and brambles. In the 1965 Volunteer's Manual the cutting is not named on the pull out map but the curve just above it is named.
