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: Pen Rhos Dirion circular

Parking at the top of the Gospel pass is easy in winter. Not so on a summer Saturday lunchtime. Fortunately I grabbed the last space and with a small pause to sort out kit I was off once more on a clockwise circuit.

Going underfoot was a little damp but the placed stones on Offas Dyke reduced the severity somewhat though the drop down to Capel y Ffin was far from present. The beauty of this walk though is the contrasts in views and the warm sun set the northern views off perfectly at the end of the day.

Trip report : Pen Plynlymon Arwystli

There is something about Plynlymon in the snow, perhaps its the central location with the extensive views or perhaps it just so easy to get to a point you can walk from. Whatever it is it a gem.

Route descriptions are superfluous on this occasion as the route from Eisteddfa Gurig has featured before but for a change I cut back and dropped into the valley far higher up than normal.
