Route: from the chapel at Capel-y-ffin, walking 200m up the road towards the pass and turning off over a stile to a path across a field, past a house and then steeply up a wet stony path onto the hillside ascending in two zigzags to a shelter. Thence slowly along a broad marshy ridge 2 miles to the cairn and fine view over the valley (with 6 paragliders) at Lord Hereford’s Knob. Descending to a saddle to the south west and then south east into the picturesque valley of Nant Bwch keeping part way up the valley side to the right of the stream as far as the first farm. Steeply uphill to find a path slowly descending round the side of the ridge to rejoin the outward path.
Conditions: cool, still but dull.
Pub: Llanthony Priory Hotel for Brains Rev James and Felinfoel Double Dragon.
