This shortish walk - 7¼ miles, according to "Walker's
Britain 2", starts from the oddly-named "Moelfre
City", in the middle of nowhere (roughly equidistant from
Newtown, Knighton and Llandrindod Wells, to be a little more
precise). This is high country, bleak and remote on this windy
day, with fine views in all directions.
Walker's Britain 2 describes the walk as "Moderate.
Smooth rolling hills, grazed by sheep and semi-wild ponies. Open
common, moorland, hills, valleys; one climb; mud".
I can't disagree with any of that! Nor can I add very much - so
here are some pictures to illustrate what was yet another
excellent day out - one to really blow away the cobwebs!
Hover over the pictures for the captions....
* Walker's Britain 2 was the second of a pair of
books produced by the Ordnance Survey in the 1980s - which seems
to be out of print now. Amazon doesn't seem to know about it, if
that's any sort of indicator.
Books and Maps:-
Walker's Britain 2 is out of print - but there seem to
be plenty of second-hand copies available. A useful book for the
walker's library.
