Luckily I left it late as the forest was full of rally cars earlier in the day. overcast weather made for poor photos and the route is well described by me previously.

Trip Report: Revisting the Radnor Forest
Its a while since I have got out but with a little time to spare and the weather improving I took a chance on the rain holding off and picked up an early autumn loop en route to my fathers home in Hereford.
Luckily I left it late as the forest was full of rally cars earlier in the day. overcast weather made for poor photos and the route is well described by me previously.

Trip Report : Radnor Forest
I've blogged before about the delights of the hills above New Radnor. They are close to home for me and with a 3 and a bit hour walk time are an afternoon walk even in the depths of Winter.
And winter it was on new years day. The bright sunny sky of the day before was replaced with a blanket of freezing fog. Grey and atmospheric to the core.
Also freezing to the core as I found to my cost when the tube on my water pack froze solid after first use.
Route wise the only thing to add is that the path onto Great Rhos that appears to disappear on the map is now very distinct and goes to thing a couple of hundred metres of the trigpoint so there is no need to bash through the heather for a direct approach.

Returning to the Radnor Forest
There is something about this simple circuit above New Radnor that keeps pulling me back. 20 minutes from home and a 3.5 hour round trip makes for an easy half day and its no surprise that it was the first set of hills that I have climbed in every month of the year.
Sunday was no different a simple walk past a local resident spray jetting the mud off the track up to his house, catching a mixed age group (youngest in a carrier eldest past retirement) and a steady open walk all the way.
Cloud could have stayed away but at least it was high. A nice simple start to the new year
